You need to import the CT scan, segment the image using [Segment Editor module](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/module_segmenteditor.html) (see tutorials [here](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Training#Slicer4_Image_Segmentation)), creating a separate segment for each piece that you would like to print separately, then [export to STL file](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/save-segmentation-directly-to-stl-or-obj-files/2428).
