This month, we’re bringing powerful upgrades to meshing! You can now isolate single parts, apply mesh decimation, and download full-resolution meshes — giving you more control and flexibility in your CAD comparison, dimensioning, and mesh export workflows. Whether refining scans or working with high-detail models, these enhancements make meshing smoother than ever.
Level up your mesh workflows
Many of you work with meshes to further inspect and compare scans, or to connect CT data into other tools, like CAD software. We’re thrilled to introduce new and powerful mesh features that are sure to turn your meshes into mesh-terpieces.
Dial in the meshes you create from scans by tuning a variety of new parameters in mesh workflows.
Largest body isolation: this new toggle enables you to generate a mesh from only the largest object in your scan, discarding any pieces not part of that main object (such as artifacts or smaller parts of an assembly).
Automatically remove smaller disconnected regions (left) by selecting the “largest body isolation” in the mesh workflow (center) to obtain a clean mesh of the largest part (right).
Mesh decimation: reducing the complexity of meshes can speed up work that requires simpler models, such as in CAD tools. You can now set a target face count and control the size of the output mesh.
Generate meshes from full resolution data: in other cases, you may need full-detail models for simulation or workflows that require maximum accuracy. Now, you can generate and download meshes from the full resolution source scan in Voyager.
Generate high resolution meshes (up to 20M polygons) from full resolution scan data (left) or decimate meshes so that they are easier to work with in downstream tools (right).
More Enhancements
- Scan Sweep – a scanning feature that enables you to set multiple scan durations in a single scan run so you can dial in the optimal scan time for your part – now supports offset scanning and part removal / reloading.
- We’ve made some adjustments to range map handle colors to provide more consistency across mesh and integrity analysis workflows.
