About:
Manifold is a robust geometry library written in C++ that provides fast, correct, and reliable Boolean operations on triangle meshes. Its core value is ensuring topological robustness for 3D modeling, CAD, and simulation by using a guaranteed 2-manifold mesh representation.
Key Features:
  • Robust Boolean operations (union, difference, intersection)
  • Mesh repair and simplification capabilities
  • High-performance parallel processing
  • Watertight mesh output guarantee
Use Cases:
  • 3D modeling and CAD software integration
  • Mesh processing and repair for 3D printing
  • Generating complex geometry for simulation and games
Alternatives:
  • CGAL – Larger, more general-purpose computational geometry library with manifold capabilities, but with a steeper learning curve.
  • MeshLab – Primarily an interactive mesh processing application, whereas Manifold is a focused library for programmatic use.
