STL_Export

This is a tool to export 3D graphics from a Tri_Surface file to an ASCII STL file.

Description

Before the export, the Tri_Surface file can be used in Matlab for visualization, some calculations or modifications. Thereafter, the data
for further processing often re-used in the STL format.

INPUT:

nodes_file: Is the matrix of 3D - points
triangles_file: Is the matrix of the triangles
STL_file_name: Is the name for the generating STL file
solid: Is the name of the file inside the STL file

OUTPUT:

nomalized_normal_vectors: Is the matrix of the normal vectors of each triangle.

And of course: The STL file.

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.6 (R2008a)

Thanks. Very helpful!

Thanks - did the trick of getting my patch into Blender as an stl file.

Very nice tool indeed. But please help me how to use it. I know inputs triangle_file & node_file but I dont know stl_file_name and solid. From where this tool take these two inputs.
