Abstract

Aiming at the demerits of STL data, a visualization algorithm of STL model is presented. Valid data consisting the vertexes and normal vector of triangular facet were separated out from STL file. The sequential file was used to save the valid data, in order to avoid excessive use of memory. The algorithm was developed through C++ and OpenGL, and the system has the functions such as translations, scales and rotations. The case studies show that the error of STL files can be detected and the optimization of process can be visual supported by the system.
