Mesh.to_stl

Mesh.to_stl(filepath, precision=None, binary=False, **kwargs)[source]

Write a mesh to an STL file.

Parameters

  • filepath (str) – The path to the file.

  • precision (str, optional) – Rounding precision for the vertex coordinates. Default is "3f".

  • binary (bool, optional) – When False, the file will be written in ASCII encoding, when True, binary. Default is False.

Returns

None

Notes

STL files only support triangle faces. It is your responsibility to convert all faces of your mesh to triangles. For example, with compas.datastructures.mesh_quads_to_triangles().
