================

### STL binary parser

Parses an [STL](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STL_%28file_format%29) (STereoLithography) binary buffer to a mesh compatible with [simplicial-complex](https://github.com/mikolalysenko/simplicial-complex). If you're looking for a streaming parser check [this](https://github.com/tmpvar/stl).

This module works well with [merge-vertices](https://github.com/thibauts/merge-vertices) to deduplicate identical vertices from different faces.

Install

-------

```bash

$ npm install parse-stl-binary

```

Usage

-----

```javascript

var parseSTL = require('parse-stl-binary');

var fs = require('fs');

var buf = fs.readFileSync('mesh.stl');

var mesh = parseSTL(buf);

console.log(mesh);

/*

{

  positions: [...],

  cells: [...],

  faceNormals: [...]

}

*/

```
