Rapidform.dll™ is the world's 1st Software Development Kit (SDK) for 3rd party 3D scanning application developers. It provides core functionality that enables developers of Rapidform.dll-based products to rapidly and robustly develop and market the industry-proven products. Based on industry-proven geometry computation technology, Rapidform.dll supports point cloud handling, 3D scan data processing, mesh optimization & modeling, curve/surface modeling, generalized reverse engineering functionalities within an integrated framework. Rapidform.dll's unsurpassed 3D geometry computation capabilities enable both application developers and end users to leverage high-performance, high-accuracy digital duplication technology across the multiple stages of today's product design and manufacturing.
Rapidform.dll's comprehensive capabilities extend to over 1,000 functions that include a wealth of point-cloud/mesh/texture/curve/surface processing and modeling utilities such as data filtering, smoothing, reduction, mesh creation from unorganized point cloud, multi-shot registration & merging, various geometric primitives fitting tools with error control, mesh defect cleaning tools, curvature-based hole filling, 3D data compression, geometric primitives and feature extraction, design curve extraction from mesh, automatic conversion of Mesh-to-Surface. In addition, Rapidform.dll also provides wide-ranging graphical and rendering support, including large sized mesh model display with different display modes, as well as versatile tessellation functionality and a full suite of model data inquiries. Rapidform.dll functionality is underpinned by configurable mechanisms that help integrate Rapidform.dll tightly and efficiently into diverse applications.
