MeshLib is a cross-platform software development kit (SDK) for three-dimensional (3D) data processing, primarily implemented in C++. It provides tools for handling polygonal meshes, point clouds, and voxel-based data.[2][3] The library includes functionality for geometry processing, computational analysis, and conversion between different 3D data formats.[4][5] Bindings are available for Python (fully exposed starting from version 3.0.0.) and C# (not fully exposed), with a C API fully exposed since v3.0.7..[6]

Overview

MeshInspector was co-founded by Alexey Vishnevskiy, an inventor on multiple patents in the fields of CAD/CAM and digital dentistry,[7] and Sergey Nikolskiy, an inventor and co-author of patents related to digital dentistry, 3D modeling, and segmentation technologies. Vishnevskiy, Nikolskiy and the team hold more than 30 patents and scientific publications in areas connected to 3D modeling, mesh processing, and dental CAD/CAM technologies.[8]

Vishnevskiy and Nikolskiy have long-term experience in CAD/CAM software development and 3D mesh processing.[9] They began working together in the 2000s on projects in dental technology, which later developed into MeshInspector and the development MeshLib library.[10] The group began developing MeshLib in the early 2020s alongside the MeshInspector application.[10]
