Creat Mesh and save as STL

[Trin]

Hi Lavas,

I am facing a problem when i want to use the 3D sensor Mapping Express VI. This VI acquires the model as a STL file, the problem is i am getting a point cloud out of my laser scanner and creates a delaunay Mesh out of it, and after that i need to apply the color interpolation exactly the way that Sensor mapping is doing it, so that would be awesome if i can save my Mesh as a STL file, and then update it after each scan. I just want to know if it is possible, or i should go through the procedure of color interpolation and so on.

Just check the STL file format and create the file "manually". The tricky part is to link the vertices to make polygons if you only have a point cloud as an input, but if you have that part figured out, it should be pretty straightforward.
