The MeshLab developers describe it as an "open source system for processing and editing 3D triangular meshes." The Features section of the site goes into detail on the software's capabilities for importing scanned 3D data to create meshes, merging multiple scans into a single object, normalizing and cleaning the resulting object, rendering a mesh with colors and textures, and exporting a mesh in formats suitable for 3D printing. The Support section of the site contains video tutorials demonstrating how these capabilities can be used in practice. The References section contains links to academic papers that describe MeshLab and that have used it in a number of applications. The Download section of the site provides installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, along with a set of sample meshes that can be used to experiment with the software.
