## Overview

This serializer outputs a 'blobable' array of data from one or more JSCAD geometries.
The array of data can either be used to create a Blob (`new Blob(blobable)`), or converted to a Node.js buffer.

The serialization of the following geometries are possible.
- serialization of 3D geometry (geom3) to OBJ object (a unique mesh containing both vertices and faces)
