About 3DONS

3DONS INC (3dons.net) is a medical-software company from Seoul, South Korea, developing 3D image processing software for digital dentistry. Its FDA-cleared platform ON3D turns 3D data such as CBCT scans into personalized 3D models of craniofacial anatomy, helping dental specialists — from oral surgeons to implantologists — diagnose, plan treatment and prepare surgical cases in full 3D.

The Challenge

An integrated software platform is a key element of digital dentistry — and mesh processing technology sits at its core. To realize a treatment plan in a physical dental device, the software must inspect and edit patient meshes precisely and reliably at every step. Building that capability in-house means wrestling with low-level geometry problems — a technical limitation that slows development down and pulls the team away from its actual product. 3DONS needed a mesh processing engine that was fast, accurate and would not become a constraint.

The Solution

After evaluating commercial mesh processing libraries, 3DONS chose the MeshLib SDK as the mesh processing engine of its digital dentistry software:

Faster & More Accurate Calculations: in 3DONS’ experience, MeshLib delivers faster and more accurate calculation results than any other commercial mesh processing library.

Mesh Inspection & Editing: the essential operations for manufacturing dental devices that realize the treatment plan.

Freedom from Technical Limitations: MeshLib SDK support removes low-level geometry hurdles when developing software.

Focus on the Essence: the team concentrates on what it wants to create — not on mesh processing internals.

The Results

With the MeshLib SDK inside its software, 3DONS experienced faster and more accurate calculation results than with any other commercial mesh processing library — on the mesh inspection and editing operations digital dentistry depends on. And with MeshLib support freeing the team from technical limitations, 3DONS can focus on the essence of what it wants to create, rather than on the geometry engine underneath.

In Their Words

“An integrated software is a key element of digital dentistry. In digital dentistry software, mesh processing technology is essential, such as inspecting and editing the mesh to manufacture dental devices to realize the treatment plan. Using the MeshLib SDK, we experienced faster and more accurate calculation results than any other commercial Mesh Processing library. Supports from MeshLib SDK will free your company from technical limitations when developing software and allow your company to focus on the essence of what you want to create.”

When we set out to develop our new PointKit scanning platform, we chose MeshInspector’s MeshLib as the foundation. That partnership let us accelerate development, ship new features faster, and get to market months sooner than we could have on our own. The MeshInspector team has been outstanding — quick answers, deep technical know-how, and genuine enthusiasm for our success. We simply wouldn’t be where we are today without their support.

CTO, customed.ai

MeshLib has been a game-changer for our company, providing all the essential operations we need to handle meshes and create highly accurate personal surgical instruments (PSIs), which are our primary products. After extensive research and comparison, MeshLib stands out as the best solution on the market. Their team is exceptionally professional and knowledgeable. Collaborating with them has been an absolute pleasure—they respond to any issues we encounter promptly and always deliver effective solutions. Their commitment to customer support and technical excellence is truly unmatched.

Over the past year, MeshLib has transformed my approach to design and analysis in landscape architecture and architecture projects. This powerful library excels in critical areas, such as geometry processing, interactive booleans, point cloud manipulation, and curve offsetting. These features enhance design workflows, allowing for dynamic modifications, efficient terrain modeling, stormwater flow analysis, and advanced wind flow visualiiza…

Chief Executive Officer, 3DONS INC

MeshLib SDK helped us achieve faster and more accurate calculation results and outperformed any other Mesh Processing library that we evaluated. For us in digital dentistry, it was a game-changer. Mesh processing operations, such as inspecting and editing the mesh to create dental devices for the treatment plan, are crucial. MeshInspector support liberated our team from technical constraints so we concentrated on creating exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend incorporating the MeshLib into your software arsenal.

With MeshInspector MeshLib we were able to automate many of our workflow processes, thanks to its advanced, modern, and efficient dental and geometry oriented algorithms, covering many of our orthodontic-related tasks: CT and intraoral scan segmentation, voxel and Boolean operations, editing, aligning, visualization, inspection, and import/export of mesh objects. We use the versatile MeshInspector MeshLib API, both in production and R&D for fast prototyping and testing of our ideas.
