3D Printing Calculations API Clients

NEW! Now includes a WordPress Plugin to make API calls!

Try before you buy

Free trial is available!

What

Calculate the:

• Volume
• Surface Area
• Bounding Box
• Build Time

of a 3D mesh via HTTP API.

Supports these 3D formats

• STL (Binary & ASCII)
• 3DS
• OBJ

New! – auto-generate 3D thumbnail images

So now you get server-side:

• STL to image converter
• 3DS to image converter
• OBJ to image converter

How

Sign-up for an account on https://manifold.metamatic.us. Get an API key. Select a monthly plan. Start making 3D calculations and image renders in the cloud!

Client side implementations are provided in four popular languages:

• PHP
• JS/HTML
• Python
• cURL (for the command line junkies)

Example

Here’s how to use this web service via cURL:

1. HTTP POST curl -X POST \ -F "api_key=your-api-key" \ -F "datafile=@your-model.stl" \ --url https://manifold.metamatic.us/v1/compute/ e.g. JSON response: { "task_id": "67cdd36a-b53b-427e-8f97-42d62a46c1d5" }
2. HTTP GET curl -X GET \ --url "https://manifold.metamatic.us/v1/compute/?task_id=your-task-id"
e.g. JSON response: { "volume": { "value":63999.92980959427, "UOM":"mm3" }, "bbox": { "value": { "width": 40.0, "height": 40.0, "length": 39.99999809265137 }, "UOM": "mm" }, "area": { "value": 9599.993515016226, "UOM": "mm2" }, "time": { "UOM": "s", "value": { "min": 2666.663742066428, "max": 7999.991226199284 } }, "facet_count": { "value":12, "UOM":"#" }, }

Bottom-line

All the calculations you need – available in one place. Upload, compute, visualize, quote.
