CT to 3D-print
Dicom to STL

The filtering and segmentation from the CT (or MRI) 2D-images can be quite challanging! So let´s try an external cloud service. But it has to be a CT scan.

This is the Cloud workflow I have tried, works on Mac and PC:
B. Make a 3D-model with Cloud computing
B. Make a 3D-model with Cloud computing
C. Repair and adjust for 3D-printing the 3D-model (Mesh)
C. Repair and adjust for 3D-printing the 3D-model (Mesh)
Dicom (CT 2D files) -> NRRD-file (anonymized) -> Mesh (STL 3D-model) -> repair, adjust -> make a 3D-print
Start 3D Slicer and choose File > DICOM
Click button Import Dicom files
Choose a scan serie and click Load
Click Save button to bring up Save Scene window
Choose a folder for the nrrd export, Save
Close 3D Slicer and verify that you got the nrrd-file

Simplify the file name
Open it in MeshMixer (alt. Blender or any other polygon software you prefer)
Cut out the interesting part
Select and delete, use Plane Cut as well
Check with the Inspector for holes or imperfections
Seperate Shells to find "extra" pieces
Resize (check size) to fit your 3D-printer
If "heavy" you might reduce the mesh count
Export as an STL-file
Optional but recommended
Optional but recommended
Open in Old Netfabb free
Click Analyze and hope for an "Yes, Yes"
If not there is a possibility foe an easy repair with Extras > Repair Part
With two green yes from Netfabb we know that we have a 3D-printable 3D-model
