Polygonica Software New Features at TCT Show 2017

Polygonica, the software development toolkit for processing polygon meshes, from the creators of MachineWorks Simulation Software, recently-launched its new version 2.1 and demonstrations of the new Polygonica v2.1 release will be on display at the TCT Show 2017 in Hall 3, Stand E44, between the 26th and the 28th of September at the NEC, in Birmingham, United Kingdom.

Some of the recent additions include:

Support for fast Lattice Generation
Sweeping of profiles and solids along paths
Solid Convexification
Imprinting, Embossing and Engraving Curves and Profiles
Mesh manipulation including Fairing and Smoothing Algorithms

Polygonica provides advanced software technology to both software and hardware additive manufacturers to resolve complex geometrical operations such as mesh healing, 3D Booleans, solid offsetting, mesh modelling, quality-based remeshing and mesh analysis. Some leading manufacturer who has integrated Polygonica automatic healing and advanced print preparation include 3D Systems, Stratasys, Renishaw, Desktop Metal and ANSYS Spaceclaim.

By creating their own software applications, 3D printing manufacturers take control over their Intellectual Property (IP), gain quicker access to market and add value for their customers.

David Turner from Renishaw will be speaking on behalf of MachineWorks at 14:30-14:50 on Wednesday 27th September on the TCT Product Stage during the TCT Show. The talk will be based on a case study about the use of Polygonica within Renishaw’s new ADEPT software for design and printing of maxillofacial implants.

“The enormous advantage to Additive Manufacturers is that they can take immediate advantage of the automatic healing capabilities of Polygonica and its superior speed without having to spend years of development thanks to MachineWorks’ unique Boolean engine”, says Richard Baxter, Polygonica Sales Manager at MachineWorks.

About Polygonica
Polygonica is a solid modelling software toolkit for healing and modelling polygon meshes. Built on MachineWorks’ core engines, Polygonica’s unique 3D Boolean technology takes advantage of 23 years of development providing automatic, fast and robust operations. Other algorithms in Polygonica allow solid healing, remeshing, simplification, offsetting and point cloud manipulation.

Polygonica has a wide range of applications such as CAE/CFD/FEA analysis, CAD/CAM, additive manufacturing where there is a requirement to repair defective models for accurate printing, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, 3D movies and gaming, geo-exploring, urban modelling and other 3D digital applications.
