Dental
Digital Dentistry requires fast and reliable custom mesh processing. Every tooth is different and reverse-engineering to CAD is not cost effective.
Polygonica is a fully supported, proprietary mesh library built on the same mesh technology as MachineWorks, the market-leading CNC simulation engine. Development on the MachineWorks' Boolean engine started in 1994 and it has been continually developed, optimised, tested and widely used since then.
A wide range of dental companies license Polygonica for their mesh-modelling requirements. These include:
- End-user software for implant modelling
- End-user software for proprietary custom aligner modelling
- Internal mesh processing pipelines automatically handling tens of thousands of meshes each month
- Dental-specific print preparation software
Polygonica provides a wide range of functionality for dental workflows including
- Creating meshes from scan data
- Smoothing and denoising
- Curvature sensitive hole filling
- Tolerance-based simplification / decimation
- Quality-based remeshing
- Automatic mesh healing
- Boolean operations
- Offsetting
- Shrinkwrap
- Deformation and morphing
- Embossing, engraving and imprinting
- 3D polycurve operations, including offset across surface
- 2D profile operations, including Boolean, offset and medial axis
- Slicing
You can find more examples and case studies on the Polygonica Blog.
