CGM Polyhedra enables additive manufacturers, machine makers, and software developers to easily build data preparation software that digitizes the manufacturing workflow. Digitizing the additive workflow helps reduce the need for process expertise and costs while enabling mass production of consistent quality parts. CGM Polyhedra supports many data sources and dozens of 3D modeling formats while providing APIs to repair, lightweight, and add supports to 3D models.

CGM Polyhedra supports a wide range of topological queries and calculations such as wall thickness analysis, point-body-distance, extrema, mass properties, and silhouettes on polyhedral models and includes a complete workflow for additive manufacturing data preparation enabling faster time to market.

CGM Modeler automates data preparation, model simplification, and more by leveraging high-level operators such as feature recognition and de-featuring for manufacturing and analysis applications.

CGM Modeler provides the best in class geometric operators for solid, surface modeling and direct editing. With this, developers and applications can leverage the visualization of models for 2D and 3D workflows. CGM Modeler enables fast and accurate geometry query, analysis, and modification of complex imported and natively designed models. As a result, applications can leverage operators for creating the most complex 3D parts and assemblies. Operators an application can leverage for additive manufacturing include controlling tessellation parameters to generate multiple levels of details and precise hidden line views for planar projections of models.

In addition, CGM Modeler embeds advanced feature recognition so applications can leverage operators to identify features such as holes, pads, fillets, and more, along with defining parameters for manufacturing automation and simplification of models for analysis.

Beyond geometry, 3D InterOp imports associated metadata, such as manufacturing information, enabling you to automate your application workflow. Load data as needed by importing containers of your choice to deliver optimal user experiences. Incrementally import CAD data as individual containers, including product structure, tessellated geometry, exact geometry, and manufacturing information, as needed by your application workflows. Automated healing and advanced operators like stitching and re-surfacing produce topologically valid solid models, robust for downstream workflows. Utilize 3D InterOp to import stable CAD topological identifiers allowing your application to capture and track design changes for regeneration of downstream features.

3D InterOp supports product manufacturing information in graphical and semantic form with full geometrical associativity, enabling engineering reviews and process automation for manufacturing and measurement. With an abstract interface, 3D InterOp enables applications to add new formats with consistent behavior across metadata at no development cost.

By leveraging features such as automatic CAD associativity and periodic meshing, 3D Precise Mesh enables the meshing step to be transparent so that you can focus on your design. High-end meshing capabilities with associativity to the CAD model allow developers to focus on their innovation.

Generate quality surface meshing with the prescribed size and curvature, with very little input for CAD and tessellated models. Simulation-dedicated options such as patch-independency or self-intersection prevention ensure high-quality surface meshing. High-quality tetrahedral, hexahedral, and hybrid meshes may be generated by combining surface and volume meshing with additional features. The volume meshing algorithms may be assembled to generate hybrid meshes, benefiting from the advantages of each type of mesh, including Hex, Tet, Pyramid, and Prism. Developers can tune the tet-mesh parameters to meet solver expectations.

By controlling the growth of boundary layers, preventing collisions in thin areas, managing corners, and smoothing the transitions between regions, 3D Precise Mesh enables high quality and automatic boundary layer generation.
