writeMesh_stl

WRITEMESH_STL Write mesh data in the STL format.

   writeMesh_stl(FNAME, VERTICES, FACES)

   writeMesh_stl(FNAME, MESH)

   writeMesh_stl(FNAME, VERTICES, FACES, ...) see stlwrite for additonal
   options

   Example
   mesh = cylinderMesh([60 50 40 10 20 30 5], 1);
   writeMesh_stl('Cylinder.stl', mesh, 'bin');
