CM2 Intersect T3
current version: 5.5.2 (February 2025)
Surface Mesh Intersection Fixer
CM2 Intersect T3 is a specialized tool for merging and repairing surface triangle meshes conformally.
From one, two or more independent and possibly (self) intersecting surface triangle meshes, this tool makes a single conformal mesh by fixing intersecting triangles (adding new nodes at intersection points and splitting triangles).
CM2 Intersect T3 can be used conveniently in conjunction with CM2 SurfRemesh T3 and CM2 TetraMesh Iso/Aniso. The former heals the topological errors (intersections, overlappings), the second heals the triangles shape through remeshing (possibly locally) and the latter fills the volume(s) with tetrahedrons.
Meshes remeshed locally (optional)
CM2 SurfRemesh T3 is used to remesh the intersecting areas.
Below, we chose to remesh the split triangles together with their first-ring neighbors.
Boolean operations (optional)
cm2::meshtools3d::boolean_ops (template function of the CM2 MeshTools Core library based on CM2 Intersect T3 and CM2 TetraMesh Iso) computes the differences, intersection and union between two closed surfaces.
Below, the intersection and the removal of the implant from the vertebra has been done with cm2::meshtools3d::boolean_ops, then a partial surface remeshing with CM2 SurfRemesh T3 (as above). Finally, the solid mesh (done again with CM2 TetraMesh Iso) is shown.

Strong Foundations
CM2 Intersect T3 is written in streamlined standard C++ with a clear API.
Pre-compiled dynamic libraries and source code are available for Microsoft Windows, Linux and Apple macOS.
Visit the CM2 MeshTools SDK page to learn about all the provided builds.
A COM interface is also available making CM2 Intersect T3 callable from other languages such as Visual Basic, C#, F# and Delphi.

Complementary Products
CM2 SurfRemesh® T3
CM2 SurfRemesh T3 is the surface triangle remesher from the CM2 MeshTools SDK. The initial surface is defined by an all-triangle mesh (STL-mesh, deformed mesh, mesh too coarse or too fine…)
CM2 SurfRemesh T3 can improve/regenerate the input surface mesh for CM2 TetraMesh Iso or CM2 TetraMesh Aniso for instance.
CM2 TetraMesh® Iso
CM2 TetraMesh Iso is the Delaunay solid isotropic tetrahedral mesh generator from the CM2 MeshTools SDK for (as good as possible) equilateral tetrahedrons.
CM2 TetraMesh Iso can fill the volume(s) inside the surface mesh generated by CM2 SurfMesh T3 or CM2 SurfRemesh T3 for instance.
Training + Custom Developments and Extensions
We love our code. As we have been and are still working hard to develop it, we know it inside out. No one is better suited to help you in many ways.
We are standing by to assist with the integration of our SDK into your programs. Training sessions are available either at your location or in our offices right here in Versailles, France. We’ll be happy to teach you to use our code, to integrate it and get the best out of it to power and enhance your applications.
We are open to suggestions to expand the boundaries of our CM2 MeshTools SDK and CM2 FEM SDK with new features tailored to your specific needs. We can also design and develop exclusive full custom-made code for you.
