@jscad/3mf-deserializer

Deserializer of 3MF data to JSCAD geometries

Overview

This deserializer converts 3MF data (OPC archives or XML strings) to JSCAD scripts or geometries.

This deserializer converts only what is supported by JSCAD libraries. Full document conversion of models and materials are NOT supported, so don't even try. However, conversion of 3MF objects and materials are possible:

3MF Entity	JSCAD Geometry	Notes
object	to geom3	conversion of mesh with vertices and triangles
basematerials	RGBA colors	convertion of materials found on objects and triangles
colorgroups	RGBA colors	convertion of materials found on objects and triangles

Also, many attributes as found on objects are transferred to the geometry, e.g. id, type, etc.
