I've been asked to expand on what I'm trying to. Basically I'm looking
into feature extraction from mesh models (stl files in this case) for
FDM components. To do so, I need a package with a API that allows me to
gain access to the mesh's date (via a data structure of some kind). I
know for stl files this is more involved than with vrml files since the
topology of the mesh is not saved within the file structure.
Thanks,
Chris
