> Is there a way to make use of a part of slicer’s function in a program? I’m trying to use my own method of segmentation and I want to use slicer’s 3d model generation/volume creation from a segmented arrays of image, to then export it as an stl file. Is there a way I could achieve this?

Maybe you can create a python script for Slicer to execute on the console like this:  
`Slicer.exe --python-script "/full/path/to/myscript.py" --no-splash --no-main-window`

Inside the script you need to read your segment data (e.g. from a numpy array, maybe like [this](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/increased-loading-time-for-multiple-segments-from-numpy-array/11026)), then you need to create a closed surface representation of the segment ([like this](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer_guide/script_repository.html#create-a-segmentation-from-a-labelmap-volume-and-display-in-3d)), you need change the storage of 3D models to stl ([like this](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer_guide/script_repository.html#change-default-output-file-type-for-new-nodes)), then you need to export segments as models (like [this](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer_guide/script_repository.html#export-model-nodes-from-segmentation-node)), then you can save your model as .stl maybe like this:  
`slicer.util.saveNode(modelNode, filepath)`

I haven’t tested this workflow, but I think it should work
