Differentiable Voxelization of Surface Representations

The paper introduces a differentiable voxelization technique that computes gradients of volumetric properties, such as winding numbers, with respect to surface mesh parameters. This method allows efficient optimization of triangle meshes using voxel-based volume samples on a regular grid. The authors demonstrate its utility in applications like resolving mesh intersections, designing manufacturable shapes for bandsaw cutting, and creating near-tiling 3D structures.
