3D triangle and quad STL remeshing with
CM2 SurfRemesh T3^® and CM2 SurfRemesh Q4^®

Want to (re)mesh a complex 3D surface ? CM2 SurfRemesh T3 and CM2 SurfRemesh Q4 are the best tools for that !

CM2 SurfRemesh T3 and CM2 SurfRemesh Q4 are 3D surface remeshers, i.e. meshers on facetized 3D surfaces. They address the problem of remeshing an existing 3-D surface mesh such as STL tesselated surfaces or any strained/bad meshes. They can optimize, refine or decimate. Work on non-manifold 3-D surfaces.

Whereas CM2 SurfRemesh T3 generates only triangle meshes, CM2 SurfRemesh Q4 can do pure-quad and quad-dominant (mixed quad/triangle) meshes. CM2 SurfRemesh Q4 generates good pure-quad meshes on regular 3-D surfaces. On highly distorted or complex surfaces, it generates better meshes if allowed to use some triangles (quad-dominant mode).
CM2 SurfRemesh Q4 can also be used to transform a 3D triangle mesh into a pure-quad or mixed quad-dominant mesh.

CM2 SurfRemesh T3 can be chained with CM2 TetraMesh for volume meshing.

  

Try them by yourself.
