You can load the STL, then convert it to a segmentation node using the “Convert model to segmentation node” option in the Data module (as explained [here](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/how-to-edit-an-stl-file-using-segment-editor/17559/13) very recently as well), then convert the segmentation to labelmap, finally save the labelmap to mhd using the Save data button.

Note that without specifying a reference volume the resolution of the volume will be 1mm x 1mm x 1mm.
