I need to scale down Geomagic Design assemblies (scale 1/22.5) in order to obtain parts which I could print using my hobby-grade FDM 3d printer.
My designs are made of hundreds of instances of single Parts, put together in assemblies. In GD you can scale down parts, but not assemblies. I was thinking of using Wizoscript for iterating through each part of the assembly, creating a new configuration in every part, apply a scale feature of the part in the newly created configuration. This way, I could also switch from the original (1:1) model to the scaled down version by just switching the configuration in the main assembly).
Now, it looks like wizoscript does not support the mirror/scale down feature of the published alibre API. Does anybody know if there is another tool to achieve the same goal? Or even another software I could use to achieve the same goal? Basically what I need is a tool for scaling down, modify small parts of the design (for instance too tiny walls), and cut bigger parts in pieces for better 3d print. Of course (at least as far as my undestanding goes), using a combination of Geomagic Design, design configurations and Wizoscript.
