What underlying concepts are being used going from segmentation to .STL

I’m currently developing a program which has some of the same features as Slicer. Eventually, I get a .STL file and extract the centerline from it. However, when I apply this to my own generated .STL files, it doesn’t work compared to the ones being made in Slicer. It made me think that the segmentations/models are actually volumetric meshes instead of surface meshes, but I’m not sure whether I’m correct. And how does Slicer generate these volumetric meshes (if they are) from segmentations?
Cheers.
