STLExporter

An exporter for the STL file format.

STL files describe only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object without any representation of color, texture or other common model attributes. The STL format specifies both ASCII and binary representations, with binary being more compact. STL files contain no scale information or indexes, and the units are arbitrary.

Import

STLExporter is an add-on, and must be imported explicitly. See Installation / Addons.

import { STLExporter } from 'three/addons/exporters/STLExporter.js';

Code Example

// Instantiate an exporter

const exporter = new STLExporter();

// Configure export options

const options = { binary: true }

// Parse the input and generate the STL encoded output

const result = exporter.parse( mesh, options );

Examples

misc_exporter_stl

Constructor

STLExporter()

Creates a new STLExporter.

Methods

.parse ( scene : Object3D, options : Object ) : Object

scene — Scene, Mesh, or other Object3D based class containing Meshes to encode.

options — Optional export options

• binary – bool. Return an ASCII encoded string or binary data buffer. Default is false.
