STL ASCII serialization

Produces a STL (STereoLithography) ASCII string from a mesh. Face normals are computed internally if not provided.

Install

$ npm install serialize-stl-ascii

Example

var serializeSTL = require('serialize-stl-ascii');

var mesh = {
  positions: [
    [-1.0, 0.0, 0.0],
    [ 0.0, 1.0, 0.0],
    [ 1.0, 0.0, 0.0]
  ],
  cells: [
    [0, 1, 2]
  ]
}

var str = serializeSTL(mesh.cells, mesh.positions/*, faceNormals, solidName*/);
console.log(str);
/*

    outer loop
      vertex -1e+0 0e+0 0e+0
      vertex 0e+0 1e+0 0e+0
