Note that the dicom file is just a completely black and white image. Open and review DICOM files in a piece of equipment designed to open and review standard CT/MRI scan DICOM files.Go to data module and right click on the new volume and select export to DICOM.Go to the volumes module and convert the new label map to a scalar volume.Go back to the segmentations module, click on the newly combined segment and using the same Import/Export area export the segment as a label map.Select Add and add the solidworks model segment to the original segment. Go to segment editor, click on you original patient bone/tissue segment and then click the logical operators effect.Go to Import/Export models and labelmaps area and import the model into the segmentation node. Select the segmentation node which you used to originally segment the patient’s bone/tissue. Go to Segmentations module (not segment editor).As long as you have not changed the coordinate system in Solidworks then it should appear in exactly the right place on the patient’s bone/tissue in slicer. Import the 3D component STL from Solidworks into Slicer.Export 3D component from SolidWorks to STL file.Import patient STL into Solidworks and create a 3D component in SolidWorks WITHOUT moving the location of the patient STL file in 3D space in Solidworks.Import DICOM data from a patient CT scan into Slicer.

If I am interpreting your need correctly, my suggestion would be: My only comment would be that probably needs to design something around the patient’s bone/tissue geometry so would need to export the file at step 2 in order to load it into Solidworks.

Binary files are more common since they are more compact. The STL format specifies both ASCII and binary representations. STL files describe only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object without representing color, texture, or other common CAD model attributes. It is widely used for rapid prototyping, 3D printing, and computer-aided manufacturing.
#Solidworks convert obj to stl software#
Many other software packages support this file format.

STL is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems. The file format is open and has been adopted by other 3D graphics application vendors. obj) is a geometry definition file format first developed by Wavefront Technologies for its Advanced Visualizer animation package.
