SHEFFIELD - 12th December, 2013 - Renishaw, a world leading supplier of measurement products, has selected Polygonica software developed by MachineWorks Ltd, provider of CNC simulation & verification and polygonal mesh processing software, for use by its Dental Division.
The Polygonica solid modelling toolkit is to be integrated into the Renishaw dental manufacturing<  system and supplied with Renishaw AM250 laser melting machines used to make dental frameworks and medical implants and prostheses in a range of metals with highly complex geometries. Polygonica will provide solid healing, boolean operations, simplification, offsetting and profile generation within Renishaw dental manufacturing systems.
"We chose Polygonica because its solid modelling and mesh healing capabilities are second to none,” says Bryan Austin, Director and General Manager of the Renishaw’s Dental Products Division.
"We are looking forward to supporting Renishaw in their future challenges with the Polygonica solid modelling engine. For a demanding application like dental framework manufacture, it’s important that the software operates efficiently in the background without having to even notice that it is there", says David Knight, Polygonica Sales Manager at MachineWorks Ltd.
