Welcome to the 3dc wiki!

This is a java port of Alex W's STL encoder/decoder.

The main reason for the port is to add this library to the reprap host as the standard java3d stl importer has some bugs.

As well as porting the code to java I've made a couple of improvements:

1. Code no longer reads the entire STL file into memory but rather use random access to access the file as needed. This should allow much larger STL files to be read.
2. I've restructured the code so it can be used as a library as well as a standalone application. The main changes involved removing all of the code that writes to stdout. The code now throws exceptions instead.
