#Meshlab make solid software#

File Name: a classic str that represents the path of a file that is going to be saved or loaded by the filter.

This parameter is of type int, which indicates the id of the mesh in the MeshSet

Mesh: represents a parameter that links to one of the meshes contained in the MeshSet on which the filter is applied.

4x4 Matrix: represents a 4x4 Matrix of floats, and the parameter can be of type numpy.ndarray] (a 4x4 numpy array of floats).

3D Point (or 3D Vector): represents a 3D point or vector, and the parameter can be of type numpy.ndarray] (a numpy array containing three floats).

Color: represents a color, and the parameter can be of type pmeshlab.Color see the documentation of the pmeshlab.Color for further info.

These values type can be int or str see the documentation of the specific filter for further info

Enum: represents a parameter that can accept just one of a limited set of possible values.

float (not recommended): the parameter will be treated as absolute value.

pmeshlab.Percentage (recommended): the parameter will be treated as relative percentage value see the documentation of the pmeshlab.Percentage for further info.

This parameter can be of two different types:

Percentage: represents a parameter that is relative to some other measure, specified in the documentation of the filter.

Bounded Float: a classic float that is expected to be bounded between a min and a max value an out-of-bounds value will raise an exception.

When you created your 3D model and want to turn it into a physical part, you can use Sculpteo.

Of course, you can access all of our tutorials here, and prepare your file for 3D Printing with other software as Rhinoceros or SolidWorks. Since a video is always more illustrative, here you have a web tutorial of Sculpteo, explaining the procedure of polygon reduction. This parameter affects the quality of the shape of the final triangles on planar portions of the mesh and improves the accuracy/complexity ratio.

Planar simplification: This option should be activated when there are flat surfaces on the model that you want to be tessellated.

It is essential for preventing the edges from collapsing and substituting the original mesh.

Optimal position of simplified vertices : This option should also be on by default.

With this action you prevent the software to flip face normals and preserves the orientation of the surface.

Preserve Normal: Here you should also select this option if it is not already on by default.

Since your file is going under a simplification process, it is essential not to destroy boundaries of the mesh, such as exposed edges etc. Preserve Boundary of the Mesh: Here you should click on this option, as it has to do with preserving the mesh boundaries.So in order for the software to calculate the original shape of the model with only well shaped faces, it requires to enter a high number of faces as it allows more freedom in the final triangle shape. This parameter affects the original modelвЂ™s shape (ex. The recommended entry is 1 as it gives satisfying results. Quality threshold : You can select a number between 0 and 1.This procedure is called reduction of polygons also known as mesh decimation. Target number of faces : Here type the number of polygons you wish your file to have.LetвЂ™s take a more detailed look at these options.
