STL Volume and Surface Area Calculator

This repository contains a web application that visualizes and calculates the volume and surface area of 3D models stored in STL files. The application uses Three.js for rendering and supports various shading options.

Features

• Visualize STL files in 3D.
• Calculate the volume and surface area of STL files.
• Toggle display of axes.
• Switch between different shading options.

Requirements

• Node.js
• npm (Node Package Manager)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/kandarpgautam/ThreeJSVolumeDemo.git
   cd ThreeJSVolumeDemo

2. Install the required packages:

   npm install

Usage

1. Start the development server:

   npm start

2. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000.

3. Pass the STL file path as a query parameter in the URL:

   http://localhost:3000/?filePath=path/to/your/file.stl

Live Examples:

1. Moneda
2. Skull
3. Base with key

Controls

• Show Axes: Toggle the display of the axes helper.
• Shading: Switch between different shading options (wireframe, normal).

Code Overview

• Three.js: Used for rendering the 3D scene.
• STLLoader: Loads STL files.
• OrbitControls: Allows orbiting around the 3D model.
• GUI: Provides a graphical user interface for toggling options.
• Stats: Displays performance statistics.
