Point cloud noise reduction, 3DReshaper® software

The "orange skin effect" (see figure 1) produces a granular aspect on the surface of meshes. The functions of smoothing and noise reduction available in 3DReshaper® can remove totally this effect.

The first step inside 3DReshaper® is to select from you point cloud(s) the right point at the right place. This point cloud noise reduction filter has two main effects on your model :

  • the quality (surface state) and accuracy is improved;
  • the weight of your 3D model (number of polygons) is dramatically reduced so that it is unnecessary to make further molygon reduction or decimation.

The surface smoothing is a very useful function in 3DReshaper®, which modifies the triangle organization so that they "follow" the mesh curves. Generally, the main issue is to find the best compromise between noise measurement elimination and preservation of the maximum of details. The noise results usually from an excessive number of points, or from a bad digitalisation.

3DReshaper® solves this easily and very quickly, whatever is the quality of the original mesh. Thanks to 3DReshaper®, you can thus obtain perfect files, ready for manufacturing, and save a lot of time during the final polishing process.
