MachineWorks Releases Polygonica 3.4

MachineWorks Ltd. makes available Polygonica 3.4, an upgrade from previous versions. Polygonica is a component software library for working with polygon meshes that helps companies in a range of industrial markets solve complex 2D and 3D geometrical problems.

Key features being released in Polygonica 3.4 include:

• UV parameterization
• Feature detection of embossed and engraved labels
• Smoothing of ragged boundaries typical of laser scan data
• Boolean operations between 3D curves and polygon mesh bodies
• Fast recreation of a mesh solid from a set of dense slices
• Improvements to registration and alignment including a new fine-tune mode
• New shrinkwrap convexity controls for joining surfaces in medical scans
• Extend a surface at an angle to a plane, for dental crown border modeling
• A new option to preserve large planar regions during mesh decimation
• A new form of surface reconstruction for use with sparse point data
• Improvements to edge blending, fillet and chamfer creation
• Improved engraving across sharp edges, aimed at imprinting deep texture patterns
• Optimizations for sequential Boolean operations (beta)
