@lassoan Thanks a lot. I’m looking for ways to do the above tasks programmatically (in Python) and I’d a chance to go through this information provided here

> [@Run Slicer in your web browser - as a Jupyter notebook or as a full application](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/run-slicer-in-your-web-browser-as-a-jupyter-notebook-or-as-a-full-application/11569):

> It has been possible to use Slicer from Jupyter notebooks but the most recent Slicer Preview Release takes this to a whole new level. [Click here to try a few example interactive notebooks now](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/slicer/SlicerNotebooks/master) - or see a short video demonstrating the new features: [[Medical image processing in your web browser using Jupyter notebooks and 3D Slicer] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZ3_cRXX2QM) Highlights: Improved interactive use You can now use IPython widgets (sliders, buttons, etc.) to control Slicer or adjust processing and visualization…

This is for Jupyter notebooks, I would like to have the above workflow in a script and run it in a server.

The input will be the tiff images and the output will be the stl file. I am not sure how the clipping can be  
done programmatically, so I wish to exclude that step for now.

Any help on how to set up the above workflow in Python will be of great help!

Thanks a lot
