Meshing and mesh improvement

The software allows you to create a model by meshing point clouds. This operation has several goals:

• Get an accurate surface model of your measured object.

• Control the quality of your digitalization (precision, lack of points, etc.).

• Keep only the most relevant points of your digitalization and thus reduce the model.

• Improve the accuracy of the result by eliminating incoherent points, filtering and/or smoothing the mesh.

• Be able to export the result of your digitalization in other software even if this software is unable to process files of several millions of points.

• Process reverse engineering.

• Reproduce the digitalized part: machining or making with rapid prototyping is possible with a mesh, but not with a 3D point cloud.

• Make 3D presentations, animations, photo-realistic rendering.

• Make finite element computations.

• …

The software has various tools to mesh your point clouds. Few parameters are enough, so that it makes the processing nearly automatic. This operation is extremely fast even if you have a large number of points. Thus, you will be able to make several attempts with various parameters until obtaining the desired result.
