Class STLWriter

java.lang.Object

toxi.geom.mesh.STLWriter

public class STLWriter
extends Object

A simple, but flexible and memory efficient exporter for binary STL files. Custom color support is implemented via the STLcolorModel interface and the exporter comes with the 2 most common format variations defined by the DEFAULT and MATERIALISE constants. The minimal design of this exporter means it does not build an extra list of faces in RAM and so is able to easily export models with millions of faces. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STL_(file_format)
