Type Alias: ExportSTL()

ExportSTL = () => Promise<boolean>

Function

Exports the current product configuration as an STL file for 3D printing or manufacturing.

This action creates a downloadable 3D model in STL format, the industry standard for 3D printing, rapid prototyping, and CNC manufacturing. STL files contain the precise geometry needed to physically produce the product or a scale model.

Business value:

  • Enables direct-to-manufacturing workflows from the configurator
  • Allows customers to 3D print scale models or prototypes
  • Supports industrial design and engineering teams creating physical samples
  • Bridges the gap between digital configuration and physical production

Returns​

Promise<boolean>

Promise resolving to true when the export is complete

Example​

// Add a "prepare for 3D printing" button to your interface
document.getElementById('3d-print-button').addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.mimeeqApp.actions.exportStl();
});

Emits​

mimeeq-3d-before-export-scene When the export process begins

Emits​

mimeeq-3d-after-export-scene When the export is complete and file download starts
