Innovation through
advanced 3D
geometry processing
UTS Rapido brings together one of Australia's most experienced teams in advanced 3D geometry processing, translating complex mathematics into deployable software systems for industry. Drawing on decades of experience across computational geometry, robotics, machine vision and applied mathematics, we work at the forefront of this rapidly evolving field.
We deliver high-impact R&D projects across additive manufacturing, medtech, defence and autonomous navigation, applying advanced geometric methods to solve complex engineering challenges for industry partners.
3D geometry processing converts physical objects and environments into accurate digital models, such as point clouds, meshes and CAD data, that can be analysed, simulated and manufactured.

Our 3D geometry processing capability
Advanced 3D geometry processing drives innovation across a range of complex engineering applications, including:
- 3D reconstruction, point cloud processing and mesh analysis
- Scan-to-print and scan-to-BIM workflow automation
- Robotic path planning and toolpath generation
- Geometry-based simulation and digital twin frameworks
- Autonomous navigation and spatial mapping in GPS-denied environments
- Medical imaging and surgical planning software
- Toolpath generation and build instructions for manufacturing systems
- Additive manufacturing and advanced 3D printing
Proven impact across sectors:
- Advanced manufacturing: custom toolpath generation for complex components
- Mining: large-scale spiral separator design, validated through digital twin simulation
- Defence: rapid reverse engineering for field-deployable part replacement
- MedTech: 3D reconstruction from CT/MRI data for surgical planning
