Pull request overview
Adds new 3D example binaries to demonstrate mesh generation and export workflows, and documents how to run them (Issue #48).
Changes:
- Added 3 new examples: Bowyer–Watson 3D tetrahedralization, marching-cubes sphere export, and a combined pipeline demo.
- Updated README with 3D example run commands and viewer guidance.
- Updated

PR description/test plan says pipeline_example generates 7 output files, but this example currently writes 6 files (marching_cubes_sphere.stl, marching_cubes_torus.stl, surface_to_volume.{stl,vtk}, octree_refined.vtk, voxel_refined.vtk). Please update the PR description/test plan or adjust the example outputs to match.

The README claims this example covers “All pipeline algorithms”, but meshing::pipeline also exposes refine_tetrahedra (src/pipeline.rs) and this example doesn’t demonstrate it. Either include refine_tetrahedra here or reword this line to avoid implying complete coverage of the pipeline APIs.
