jsstl
Pure Javascript demo code for parsing and rendering STL (ascii and binary) files.
The code is currently tightly coupled between the STL parsing and three.js geometry creation for the sake of initial rendering speed. That said, it would be relatively trivial to make the parseStl() and parseStlBinary() functions be renderer-agnostic. Feel free to cannibalize the code as you see fit.

Dump this repo on a web server and open up index.html in a browser. Voila, octocat!
thanks to
- three.js for the ability to render the 3D models in WebGL/Canvas via Javascript
- Mozilla Devloper Network for the tremendously well-written docs on Javascript typed arrays
