Write stereo lithography files.STLWriter
writes stereo lithography (.stl) files in either ASCII or binary form.
Stereo lithography files only contain triangles. If polygons with more

TriangleFilter to convert polygons to triangles. This version of the
reader is used when running in parallel. It gathers all the geometry to
first node and saves 1 file.
