Answer 1

You can do it in javascript by using the tools provided by jscad:

const stlDeSerializer = require('@jscad/stl-deserializer');
const x3dSerializer = require('@jscad/x3d-serializer');

const rawData = fs.readFileSync('PATH/TO/file.stl');
const csgData = stlDeSerializer(rawData);
const x3dData = x3dSerializer(csgData);
