Medical

Medical implant design and surgical planning applications require advanced mesh operations in order to efficiently model custom solutions from patient scans.

Polygonica is used in a range of medical applications including modelling for orthognathic reconstruction, rapid design of craniomaxillofacial patient specific implants (PSIs) to planning automation for robot-guided surgery.

Powered by Polygonica's fast and robust mesh Booleans, the CAD Import module for advanced segmentation engine Synopsys Simpleware allows users to directly merge CAD models with CT scans without the need to reverse engineer. CADS Medical Software use Polygonica to streamline different surgical processes as part of their advanced IPS Platform. Polygonica is also used in a wide range of print preparation applications used by implant manufacturers and surgical planning teams, including software from Oqton, 3D Systems, Stratasys and Desktop Health.

Polygonica provides a growing range of functionality for medical 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
