Synopsis

This library provides PHP 7 functionality for reading and writing from and to 3D objects stored in STereoLithography (STL) files, useful for manipulating 3D objects for 3D Printing.

Add this to your composer.json file:

[ ... ] "require" : { [ ... ] "php3d/stl" : "1.*" }

Then run composer:

composer.phar install

Examples

Read an STL file:

use php3d\stl\ STL ; use php3d\stl\ STLFacetNormal ; $ stl = STL :: fromString ( file_get_contents ( "/path/to/file.stl" ));

Add a new facet:

$ stl -> addFacetNormal ( STLFacetNormal :: fromArray ( array ( "coordinates" => array ( 1 , 2 , 3 ), // Facet normal coordinates. "vertex" => array ( array ( 3 , 4 , 5 ), array ( 3 , 4 , 5 ), array ( 3 , 4 , 5 ) ) )));

To split an object:

( new STLSplit ( $ stl ))-> split ();
