# NAME
CAD::Mesh3D - Create and Manipulate 3D Vertexes and Meshes and output for 3D printing
# SYNOPSIS
use CAD::Mesh3D qw(+STL :create :formats);
my $vect = createVertex();
my $tri = createFacet($v1, $v2, $v3);
my $mesh = createMesh();
$mesh->addToMesh($tri);
...
$mesh->output(STL => $filehandle_or_filename, $ascii_or_binary);
# DESCRIPTION
A framework to create and manipulate 3D vertexes and meshes, suitable for generating STL files
(or other similar formats) for 3D printing.
A **Mesh** is the container for the surface of the shape or object being generated. The surface is broken down
into locally-flat pieces known as **Facets**. Each **Facet** is a triangle made from three points, called
**Vertexes** (also spelled as vertices). Each **Vertex** is made up of three x, y, and z **coordinates**, which
are just floating-point values to represent the position in 3D space.
# TODO
- Add more math for **Vertexes** and **Facets**, as new functions are identified
as being useful.
