TetGen Alternatives

TetGen is described as 'Program to generate tetrahedral meshes of any 3D polyhedral domains. TetGen generates exact constrained Delaunay tetrahedralizations, boundary conforming Delaunay meshes, and Voronoi partitions' and is an app. There are more than 10 alternatives to TetGen for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, BSD and Flathub apps. The best TetGen alternative is Blender, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like TetGen are Wings 3D, picoCAD, Gmsh and SALOME.

TetGen alternatives are mainly 3D Modelers but may also be CAD Software or 3D Animators. Filter by these if you want a narrower list of alternatives or looking for a specific functionality of TetGen.
