Integrator tool

The Integrator Tool allows to generate a mesh from several COPs. This functionality allows the use of SAL3D for reverse enginnering applications.

After aligning several COPs in the same coordinate system, they represent a surface as a composition of several patches. However, in this case, there are some duplicity due to some overlapping area. In addition, there is not any connectivity between points from different COPs. On the other site, the mesh represents the surface as a single triangulated object. This tool allows to generate a continuos and smooth surface from one or several COPs.

User can select the desired resolution and the smoothness of the generated mesh.

After generating the Mesh, user could export it to PLY or STl 3D file format (in both ASCII or binary representation).
