SHEFFIELD, UK, Jan 20, 2025 – MachineWorks Ltd. is pleased to announce the availability of Polygonica 3.4, a substantial 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:
- Seamless UV parameterisation
- 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 modelling
- A new option to preserve large planar regions during mesh decimation
- A new form of surface reconstruction for use with sparse point data
- mprovements to edge blending, fillet and chamfer creation
- Improved engraving across sharp edges, aimed at imprinting deep texture patterns
- Optimisations for sequential Boolean operations (beta)
