UEL Launches POLYGONALmeister Version 10.0

UEL Corporation has officially launched the highly anticipated version 10.0 of its polygon editing software, POLYGONALmeister. This software, first introduced in 2015, revolutionizes the way users handle polygon data, crucial for industries utilizing 3D scanning and printing technologies. The new version brings remarkable updates, particularly in its trimming and surface inspection functionalities, making data editing and inspection more efficient than ever before.

Aiming for Efficiency in Diverse Fields

As technology such as 3D printers, 3D scanners, and CT devices becomes increasingly accessible, the application of polygon data spans various sectors including manufacturing, medical, and civil engineering. However, the editing and inspection of measurement data traditionally require advanced skills, adding to operator burdens. The enhancements in POLYGONALmeister V10.0 are specifically designed to alleviate these challenges, aiming to improve work efficiency while encouraging greater data utilization across fields.

Key Feature Enhancements

1. Trim Functionality
One of the standout features added in this version is the new trimming functionality. Users can now trim not only the surface but also the backside of 3D models using contour lines of shells. Adjustments to clearance settings allow for versatile design applications, especially for 3D printing purposes. This represents a significant improvement, as tasks that previously required combining multiple commands can now be executed with a single command, greatly enhancing both usability and operational efficiency.



2. Surface Inspection
V10.0 introduces a heatmap representation for cylinder surface unevenness, enabling users to visualize inspection outcomes at a glance, even on complex curved surfaces like pipes. This replaces the past method of checking the cylinder’s circumference section by section, drastically reducing inspection times and simplifying the identification of anomalies.



3. Letter Relief Enhancements
Users can now pinpoint the exact embedding locations for text through specific coordinates. This improvement allows for precise adjustments, eliminating misalignment issues typically encountered during manual positioning. Additionally, users can repeatedly input text at the same spot on different models. The software also adds new fonts such as Meiryo UI, UD Digital Textbook Font NK-B, and Yu Gothic, expanding creative options.



4. Placement Options
With version 10.0, users gain the ability to place vertices at arbitrary points in space, expanding the software’s versatility beyond just connecting vertices on a mesh.

Packaging and Pricing

The following packages are now available:
1. POLYGONALmeister Reverse - Full package with CAD surface modeling features for ¥1,980,000 (tax inclusive)
