You might have a look at the MEFISTO2 mesher, that creates homogeneous triangles. But you will have to write the STL exporter by yourself (in ASCII mode, it's not very difficult). Have a look at the surfacig_mesh.py sample ( http://code.google.com/p/pythonocc/source/browse/trunk/src/examples/Level1/SMESH/surfacic_mesh.py). You can see a video of this sample here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oebFo_adioA > > Thank you. > > -- > Guillaume Best Regards, Thomas
