Hi my friends i need some help i want convert 3D stl into Solidwork solid body

You need to export to STL or similar supported format. There are many previous discussions, please use search to find them: [image]

i already have .stl i find method to convert CT scan into stl BUT i need method to convert CT scan image into 3D solid body not graphics, so i can use it in solidwork software to do mechanical analysis( simulation and other objectives) please help thanks

I haven’t used it myself, but you could try the Cleaver extension and let us know how it goes: https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/4.8/Extensions/CleaverExtension

FEA packages that can work with arbitrary geometries often have pre-processor component that can create volumetric mesh from surface mesh.

in simple word i mean i have CT image of camels skull i want import it as solid body in SOLIDWORK software is there any method in slicer do that? i am waiting for you thanks

You may try Cleaver (either the Slicer extension or the command-line tool - https://www.sci.utah.edu/cibc-software/cleaver.html ) or Solidworks built-in meshers ( http://help.solidworks.com/2014/english/solidworks/cworks/c_background_on_meshing.htm ).

I’ve added a new extension, Segment Mesher - it’ll be available in tomorrow’s nightly build. It can create volumetric meshes using either Cleaver2 or TetGen. See more information here: https://github.com/lassoan/SlicerSegmentMesher
