For example, it may be necessary to interpolate new polygons over unmeasured areas to create a complete surface representation.A first set of tools is designed to repair and optimize imperfectly digitized geometry.PolyWorks | Modeler provides two categories of polygon-editing tools to prepare polygonal models for these applications: For example, polygonal models can be either directly milled, built using a 3D printer, or input into aerodynamic simulation software.

Several industrial applications are capable of directly handling polygonal model representations. As a result, polygonal models tend to be more compact, more accurate, and less noisy in comparison to the raw measurements. Sophisticated data-processing techniques, including point smoothing and curvature-based sampling, can be applied to raw point clouds during the meshing phase. The first step in a reverse-engineering workflow consists in transforming digitized point clouds into a polygonal model, an operation also called “meshing”. POLYGONAL MODELING: Manufacture From Polygonal Models PolyWorks | Modeler is a comprehensive reverse-engineering software solution that allows extracting optimal CAD entities-curves, surfaces, parametric sketches, and prismatic features-from polygonal models of digitized parts to serve as the starting point in your professional CAD modeling solution.
