1. A system comprising:
a processor coupled to a memory, the processor configured to:
determine a size of a three-dimensional (3D) computer model representing a physical object, wherein the 3D computer model includes a plurality of elements that comprise a plurality of vertices, a plurality of edges connecting the plurality of vertices, and a plurality of faces that are formed from the plurality of edges;
multiply the size by a decimation factor of a plurality of different decimation factors, wherein the multiplying generates a decimation stopping condition value; and
perform a decimation process by removing one or more particular elements from the 3D computer model until each remaining element of the 3D computer model has an error value that is equal to or greater than the decimation stopping condition value.
