STL PHP

This repository contains code for handling 3D models saved in STL format.

How to get it

The suggested installation method is via composer.

Add a dependency on chubv/php-stl to your project's composer.json file.

Usage

To get the model build the Reader and read the model from file

$model = STLReader::forFile(__DIR__ . '/stls/text.stl')->readModel();

You can use VolumeHandler to calculate volume of 3D model without STLModel object construction (memory consumption is proportional to model size) or write your own handler by implementing HandlerInterface and setting it to reader.

    $reader = STLReader::forFile(__DIR__ . '/stls/text.stl');
    $reader->setHandler(new VolumeHandler());
    $volume = $reader->readModel();

Tests

The PHPUnit version to be used is the one installed as a dev- dependency via composer:

$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit
