This presentation will build on the skills learned in "Working With Mesh Geometry - Part 1" by introducing the powerful new "hybrid mesh" capability introduced in SOLIDWORKS 2022. Since SOLIDWORKS 2018, SOLIDWORKS has committed to allowing users to work with mesh geometry (also called tessellated geometry, faceted geometry, etc.). Commonly imported from formats such as *.STL, *.OBJ, and now *.3MF, mesh geometry originates from a wide range of sources, including:

• 3D scanner output
• Artistic modeling software
• CAD exports
• 3D printer preprocessing
• Output from simulation software (i.e., topology optimization output from SOLIDWORKS Simulation)

Numerous online file sharing sites Hybrid Modeling (introduced in SOLIDWORKS 2022) now provides powerful new capabilities for continuing engineering a mesh model allowing the user to bridge the gap between SOLIDWORKS features and mesh geometry by adding SOLIDWORKS features directly to a mesh body.
