Sheffield, UK | November 11th, 2024 - MachineWorks Ltd will be displaying a preview of the latest release of Polygonica, the renowned component software for polygon-mesh processing, at Formnext 2024 in Frankfurt next week.

Key features being released in Polygonica 3.4 include:

• Seamless UV parameterisation
• Smoothing of ragged boundaries typical of laser scan data
• Feature detection of embossed and engraved labels
• Recreate a mesh solid from a set of dense slices
• Improvements to registration and alignment including a new fine tune mode
• Extend a surface at an angle to a plane, for dental crown border modelling
• Subtract and intersect 3D curves with polygon mesh bodies
• A new option to preserve large planar regions during mesh decimation
• Improved handling of embossing across sharp edges, suitable for imprinting texture patterns onto a mesh surface

Polygonica 3.4 is targeted for release in December 2024.
