Save volume rendering as STL file

Volume rendering displays a semi-transparent cloud, but for 3D printing you need hard boundaries that exactly define what is inside/outside. Finding exact boundaries is often a difficult task - that’s why all the segmentation tools are developed.

Typically the issue is at low-contrast regions. You may need to apply smoothing, apply manual corrections, or use semi-automatic tools to have nice, smooth, and correct boundaries in these regions.
