We possess efficient software implementations of some of the most advanced light transport simulation algorithms that are known today.
Our graphics software is also capable of simulating of physical effects that are still uncommon in mainstream software, such as light polarisation and fluorescence.
We have developed a 3D printing driver for PolyJetting printers, capable of accurate color and texture reproduction.
Furthermore, we maintain the Morphome3cs codebase, a unified software for biomedical research that features tools for surface data acquisition, statistical shape analysis and result presentation.
