This tool is accessible via the 'Edit > Mesh > Smooth (Laplacian)' menu.

Description

Smooths a mesh with Laplacian smoothing.

The user must specify the number of iterations (20 by default) and the smoothing force ('Smoothing factor' - between 0 and 1 - 0.2 by default) applied at each iteration.

Edit > Mesh > Smooth (Laplacian) example

Warning: the smoothing algorithm does not preserve the volume/surface. Therefore, the mesh might shrink a little if the number of iterations and/or the smoothing force is too high.
