Hello,
I discovered that a hex-meshing extension called IA-FEMesh was available in the Slicer version 3.6 and I do not see it anymore. Is it discontinued or is there another extension which can perform hex meshing of segmentations?
Hello,

I’m afraid we didn’t have resources to bring the IA-FEMesh code into the 4.x version.
There are many mesh generators out there and it should be quite easy to extend the Segment Mesher module to work with them.
The Segment Mesher is essentially just a Python script, which converts input image or mesh to a format that the mesher accepts, runs the meshing algorithm, and imports the result back into Slicer. The module can already use two libraries (TetGen and Cleaver2) - extending it to support more should not be a problem.
