I am writing an app, which takes a STL file as input. I want to get volume of the stl object without saving the stl file and use the volume to calculate a quote and post it back to browser. Right now I am using numpy-stl package, but I am stuck on how to create a mesh object for numpy-stl from the file I get with request.files['file'].read(). Any help is appreciated.
You can try the following code:
import io
filedata = request.files['file'].read()
data = io.BytesIO(filedata)
tmp_mesh = mesh.Mesh.from_file("tmp.stl", fh=data)
You can use tmp_mesh object to do you interesting operation
