steno3d_stl
Project description
Welcome to the .stl file parser plugin for Steno3D by Seequent. This repository supplements the Steno3D Python client library.
To install this parser, simply
pip install steno3d_stl
On import, this parser plugs in to the steno3d.parsers module. It can be used as follows:
import steno3d
import steno3d_stl
parser = steno3d.parsers.stl('yourfile.stl')
(stl_project,) = parser.parse()
This parser supports binary and ASCII .stl files. Basic documentation for these files can be found on Wikipedia. This parser does not support any non-standard features such as color, materials, or multiple solids in one file. Additionally, in ASCII files, extra newlines are not allowed.
If you are interested in additional features you may submit an issue or consider directly contributing to the github repository. Parser guidelines are available online.
