Converting a 3D object (in spherical coordinates) to an stl.

Hello all,

I am currently working on a project in which I will eventually 3D print antenna radiation patterns. As part of the project, I have to use spherical coordinates from a 3D object and convert the file to an stl. I have explored several options for how to do this, but I was wondering if anyone had ever done this before. If so, what was your overall method to converting from the 3D object to the stl?

Thank you in advance!

Convert spherical coordinates to cartesian first. Show the data

You may use stlwrite to convert a 3D object to STL file from triangulation.

There is also a File exchange available to extend stlwrite to export variety of inputs(path/surface) to STL
