Hello,

I can import open access data, human heart segmentation. I can simply open and see the segmentation, but it is like images, I cannot work on it.  
What I need is just 3D export of that segmentation, STL format. The goal is to print the model by a 3D printer.  
Kindly find the data on;

Thank you for your help in advance.

Sincerely,
