# NAME

CAD::Mesh3D - Create and Manipulate 3D Vertexes and Meshes and output for 3D printing

# SYNOPSIS

    use CAD::Mesh3D qw(+STL :create :formats);

    my $vect = createVertex();

    my $tri  = createFacet($v1, $v2, $v3);

    my $mesh = createMesh();

    $mesh->addToMesh($tri);

    ...

    $mesh->output(STL => $filehandle_or_filename, $ascii_or_binary);

# DESCRIPTION

A framework to create and manipulate 3D vertexes and meshes, suitable for generating STL files

(or other similar formats) for 3D printing.

A **Mesh** is the container for the surface of the shape or object being generated.  The surface is broken down

into locally-flat pieces known as **Facets**.  Each **Facet** is a triangle made from three points, called

**Vertexes** (also spelled as vertices).  Each **Vertex** is made up of three x, y, and z **coordinates**, which

are just floating-point values to represent the position in 3D space.

# TODO

- Add more math for **Vertexes** and **Facets**, as new functions are identified

as being useful.
