Prism is a geometric mesh viewer that also provides mesh processing utilities to provide multiresolution adaptive mesh surface approximations while preserving much of the detail of the original mesh.

Features

• Available for both Linux and Windows.
• 3 types of surface normal calculations
• 2 methods of mesh decimation
• 2 methods of mesh re-construction
