MESHmachine’s chamfer and fillet toolset allows more flexibility, when dealing with fillet-like surfaces, traditionally created with Blenders Bevel and Bridge tools. MESHmachine’s approach to fillets is the Fuse tool, which builds transitional surfaces from chamfers, fusing the surfaces on both sides.Doing this, you get the benefits of both – chamfers…
