Kind: Function
Domain: Modeling and geometry
Canonical import: from cadflow import export_stl
Signature
def export_stl(shapes: 'Union[AnyShape, Sequence[AnyShape]]', filename: 'str') -> 'None'
Description
Export shapes to STL.
Other public imports
from cadflow import to_stl
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Source description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
shapes | 'Union[AnyShape, Sequence[AnyShape]]' | yes | - | A single Compound, Solid, or Face, or any nested sequence of those. Lists of Solid are supported directly, including pattern or explicitly collected multi-shape results. |
filename | 'str' | yes | - | Output STL file path. |
Returns
Type: 'None'
None: Writes the provided shapes into one STL file.
Usage: Use this function when you want to export one compound, solid, or face into the same STL file. Passing List[Solid] is valid for pattern outputs or explicit shape collections. Boolean operations return a single Solid.
Errors
The source docstring does not declare a narrower exception contract. Invalid types, values, ownership, paths, or backend state may still raise the corresponding public error.
Behavior and constraints
- This operation writes an external artifact. Validate the returned path or output file before delivery.
