Import STL file and convert to Matrix

Hello,

I want to measure the Hausdorff-Distance between two STL meshes. Is it possible to import the STL-Data and convert it in matrix where every point has its x,y,z-coordinate?

Thanks!

What about using Matlab's STL import?

I tried it, but i'm not able to use the matrix. I can only plot it ...

Try stlread to import geometry

Use griddata to interpolate data

stlread doesn't work anymore
