Overlap removal

[pca006132]

Outline

Remove overlaps in meshes that contain self-intersection, assuming the mesh is a manifold.

Details

Basically, a valid solid mesh should be both manifold and has no self-intersection. However, models from the internet may contain defects. This project is about coming up with an algorithm that removes self-intersections.

See elalish/manifold#289 for details about ideas for the algorithm.

Expected Outcome

Implementation of said algorithm.
