New Software Release from MachineWorks - Polygonica v1.4

MachineWorks Ltd, global supplier of CNC Simulation and Verification Component Software and of Solid Modelling Software Toolkit for Processing Polygon Mesh will be releasing the Polygonica version 1.4 later this summer.

SHEFFIELD, UK, Jul 11, 2016 - MachineWorks Ltd, global supplier of CNC Simulation and Verification Component Software and of Solid Modelling Software Toolkit for Processing Polygon Mesh will be releasing the Polygonica version 1.4 later this summer.


A sneaky peek of the new features are:
The new remeshing API provides a way to modify the shape and size of the polygons representing a solid, while maintaining the overall shape and topology of the solid, in other words, altering the geometry to improve the quality of the solid. The aim of remeshing is to make more regular faceting, a highly desirable quality for algorithms used in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) or Finite Element Analysis (FEA).


Point cloud processing functionality is now much more comprehensive and suitable for interactive applications. Many extensions have been made including point cloud set registration, filtering, smoothing, sampling and normal calculation.

Clash detection algorithms have been optimised and extended to allow the severity of a clash to be measured. A negative clash tolerance can now be specified to discount insignificant clashes where solids only marginally intersect each other.

The Polygonica library now supports not only the Windows platform, but also MacOS and Linux.



About Polygonica
Polygonica is a solid modelling software toolkit for processing polygon meshes. Built on MachineWorks' core engines, Polygonica's unique polygonal modelling technology takes advantage of 20 years of development providing automatic, fast and robust Boolean operations. Other algorithms in Polygonica allow solid healing, simplification, slicing, sectioning and spun profile calculation.
Polygonica has a wide range of applications such as CFD/FEA meshing, CAD/CAM/CAE, additive manufacturing where there is a requirement to repair defective models with vast numbers of polygons, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, 3D movies and gaming, geo-exploring, urban modelling and other 3D digital applications.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
