Intersections
The intersection algorithm is based on a precalculate and insert approach that allows intersections to be calculated
and viewed before being inserted into the mesh.
Tolerant non-manifold unions
Multiple body models commonly involve surface to surface contact that has not been adequately resolved in the
model. Performing a traditional intersection results in a noisy model that does not represent the desired result. DGK’s
tolerant operations allow these models to be accurately resolved.

Hole Filling
The below hole, (free edge in yellow) is first triangulated, refined and then blended with the surrounding surface. This
can be performed as a single step or through multiple steps providing full control over the final result.
Surface Construction
DGK’s surface construction capabilities allow more complex modifications where parts are missing or need to be
replaced, whether originating from a scan or a CAD model. The Stanford bunny below has been cut into multiple
distinct pieces thwarting traditional hole filling algorithms. New topological edges are created bridging the pieces and
used as the basis of new surface construction using triangulation, refinement and blending.
