This approach distinguishes FlexiCubes from traditional mesh-based pipelines, such as the widely used marching cubes algorithm, making it a seamless replacement in optimization-based AI pipelines.

Signed distance fields are another useful trick that allows you to generate a mesh by implementing a signed distance function and then running a marching cubes algorithm on it.

Marching Cubes leverages 3D printing to make the virtual world physical. Drawing inspiration from an eponymous computer algorithm, Marching Cubes is part sculpture, part playground.
