MeshLab is an extendible system for the user assisted processing of unstructured 3D triangular meshes.

The system is aimed to help the processing of the typical not-so-small unstructured models arising in 3D scanning, providing a set of tools for cleaning and healing this kind of meshes.

The system is heavily based on the VCG library developed at the Visual Computing Lab of ISTI - CNR, for all the core mesh processing task.

The Meshlab system started as a part of the FGT course of the Computer Science department of University of Pisa.

Here are some key features of "MeshLab":
Input/output in many formats (PLY, STL, OFF, OBJ)
Extendible plugins based architecture, writing new mesh processing functions, colorization filters and support for different file formats is quite easy.
Cleaning Filters
Removal of duplicated, unreferenced vertices, null faces
Subdivision filters (loop and butterfly)
Opengl Shader based rendering
Large snapshot for hi quality printing
Various Colorization Filters
Gaussian curvature
Border edges
Non two-manifold faces

What's New in This Release:
Many bugs have been corrected.
Notably, in the previous release, object loading had a lot of problems.
Support for the WRL and SMF file formats (write only) and the PTX file format (read only) has been added.
The quality and robustness of Hole Filling filter have been greatly improved: now large and non-manifold holes can be handled.
