API Reference¶

stl.Mesh
- Mesh

The primary entry point is stl.Mesh, which inherits from BaseStl and BaseMesh.

Enumerations¶

class stl.Mode(*values)[source]¶

STL file format mode for loading and saving.

Use AUTOMATIC for auto-detection (default), ASCII to force ASCII format, or BINARY to force binary format.

AUTOMATIC = 0¶: Automatically detect whether the output is a TTY, if so, write ASCII otherwise write BINARY

ASCII = 1¶: Force writing ASCII

BINARY = 2¶: Force writing BINARY

class stl.Dimension(*values)[source]¶

Named indices for X/Y/Z axes.

X = 0¶: X index (for example, mesh.v0[0][X])

Y = 1¶: Y index (for example, mesh.v0[0][Y])

Z = 2¶: Z index (for example, mesh.v0[0][Z])

class stl.RemoveDuplicates(*values)[source]¶

Strategy for handling duplicate triangles.

Use with BaseMesh.remove_duplicate_polygons().

NONE = 0¶

SINGLE = 1¶

ALL = 2¶

classmethod map(value)[source]¶

Convert an int or RemoveDuplicates to RemoveDuplicates.

Parameters:: value (_Dedupe) – Integer or RemoveDuplicates enum value.
Returns:: The corresponding RemoveDuplicates member.
Return type:: RemoveDuplicates

Constants¶

stl.HEADER_SIZE¶: Size of the binary STL header in bytes (80).

stl.COUNT_SIZE¶: Size of the triangle count field in bytes (4).

stl.MAX_COUNT¶: Maximum number of triangles in a binary STL file (100,000,000).
