Hedgehog Software provides a 100% Java computational and solid modelling API.

features

Our library comprises a comprehensive set of packages to ease the burden of numerical and computational modelling in Java. A few features are:

• Mathematical operations such as handling vectors, matrices, functions, polynomials, optimisation, and so on
• 2D and 3D geometric modelling of points, curves, grids, meshes, surfaces and solids
• Attribute handling
• Model building
• XML, database [HSQLDB] and X3D support
• ...

on-going development

The Hedgehog Java API is comprehensive but still in its infancy when we consider what we would like to add! If you'd like to know more about we are currently working on and have planned then checkout roadmap.

Version 1.1 Released - 23rd April

Version 1.1 of the API is now out. Numerous additions have been made [see change log] but the focus has been on adding support for Bezier and B-Spline curves and surfaces. The image below illustrates a non-rational Bezier surface interpolating a point set. For other examples refer to the gallery and for a detailed summary refer to the JavaDoc.

Another key addition is support for modelling superquadric ellipsoids and toroids, which allow complex objects to be defined through a single equation.
