A collection of data points called a point cloud is used
to depict a real-world object
Point cloud meshing
should you combine multiple point cloud scans?
Yes
what does STL stand for?
standard tessellation language
It is file format which is an openly documented format for describing the surface of an object as a triangular mesh, that is, as a representation of a 3-dimensional surface in triangular facets
