Technology & Products
Key Products
MachineWorks; Polygonica
Technological Advantage
Trusted by over 50 major OEMs; high-fidelity CNC simulation; specialized AM mesh processing capabilities including smoother meshes for reverse engineering and rapid prototyping.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Provides embedded software engines that improve productivity by 20% and quality by 40-50% for manufacturing and AM workflows.
How They Differentiate
Polygonica provides a headless C++ SDK for automated mesh healing and boolean operations, integrated into over 70% of industrial AM printer software (including Stratasys, 3D Systems, and Renishaw), whereas competitors like Materialise Magics are primarily GUI-based tools for end-users. Polygonica 3.1 demonstrated a 4x speed improvement in remeshing complex brackets (37s to 9s) compared to previous versions.
