[vtkusers] Convert STL to DCM

[Chiranjib Sur]

Hi Matias,
As far as I know there is no direct converted available for STL to DCM.
But if you do this workaround it is possible :

STL -> VTP (polydata) -> DCM

Once you have the data in polydata format, you will be able to slice it
using ParaView.

The following links might help you

vtkSTLReader is the class you need to use to read the STL file within VTK.

Thanks,
Chiranjib
