Optimized THREE.STLExporter for very large meshes

Hi,
I recently had to code an optimized STLExporter for meshes > 1 M triangles. The existing one thrown “out of memory” error. This one handles several million triangles easily.

To make it very fast and simple, it has some limitations:

  • Only BufferGeometry is accepted.
  • Only one mesh is processed, not the entire object tree.
  • The object matrix is not applied, it exports purely the geometry data.

Wondering if there is interest in a PR. I’ve named it STLExporterOptimized but accept suggestions for naming.

I just published the project. It is a lithophane generator:
