An STL 3D model estimator built with NodeJS, Vanilla JavaScript and Handlebars. HacktoberFest 2019

STL Estimator - HacktoberFest 2019

The goal of this project is to create an online STL file that users can upload a 3D Model (STL format binary or ascii) to get stats of their 3D Models. An example would be the volume of the model or the bouding box (L x W x H). This is commonly used for 3D Printing and depending on the level of interest we can accomplish some pretty cool things with this project. Things like Cost Estimation, Model Renderings, Saving Projects and Procssing G-Code files!

Here is a rough example of what something like this could look like:
