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. The main functions of Polygonica include healing, Booleans, offsetting, remeshing, simplification, shrinkwrap, surface and feature detection and point-cloud manipulation and meshing Polygonica 3.2 includes new smooth mesh morphing functionality based on control points and regions. The image shows a vector field representing deformation compensation for additive manufacturing, automatically generated by Polygonica 3.2 from comparison of the printed part with the design part. Deformation magnitudes are amplified for rendering. Headline improvements in Polygonica 3.2 include: Mesh deformation for AM compensation: General smooth mesh morphing operations. Computation of accurate deformation fields between two meshes Application can define deformation from CAE simulation or scanned part Mesh registration: Accurately register two meshes from different coordinate spaces Refine registration based on application defined regions Register scanned mesh with CAD part. 3D Medial Axis: Compute the medial axis of a solid as a set of points and
