STL PHP
=======

[](#stl-php)

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

How to get it
-------------

[](#how-to-get-it)

The suggested installation method is via [composer](https://getcomposer.org/).

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

Usage
-----

[](#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
-----

[](#tests)

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

```
$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit
```

License
-------

[](#license)

It's under MIT. Look at LICENSE file.
