A modern C++ open-source library for processing and visualizing polygon surface meshes. It provides an efficient mesh data structure, standard geometry processing algorithms like decimation, remeshing, subdivision, and smoothing, plus ready-to-use viewers and JavaScript cross-compilation.

Use cases

• decimate or simplify large triangle meshes
• remesh a surface to improve element quality
• subdivide a coarse mesh for smoother surfaces
• smooth noisy mesh geometry
• fill holes in scanned meshes
• compute geodesic distances on a surface mesh
• parameterize a mesh for texture mapping
• visualize and inspect OBJ/OFF polygon meshes

When to choose

• you need a modern, MIT-licensed C++ alternative to OpenMesh for surface mesh processing
• you want standard geometry processing algorithms out of the box with a clean data structure
• you need to compile mesh processing tools to JavaScript/WebAssembly for the browser

When to avoid

• you need volumetric or tetrahedral mesh processing rather than surface meshes
• you need rendering features beyond simple mesh viewers (use a full graphics engine)
• you work primarily in Python or another language without C++ interop
