STL to DCM Conversion: FAQ
What are STL files?
STL is the proprietary format for a computer-aided design (CAD) program developed by 3D Systems. STL is an acronym for Stereolitography, which is a type of technology used for creating prototypes or patterns through 3D printing. An STL file contains a surface representation of such a model, without detailed specifications of aspects such as colours. STL files can only be opened with a limited number of programs.
What are DCM files?
A DCM file is a DICOM file, meaning it follows the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard for storing, transmitting, and managing medical imaging data. This standard ensures interoperability between medical imaging equipment and software, allowing images to be shared across scanners, servers, workstations, and network systems. DCM files are most commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and private medical practices that rely on medical imaging equipment such as CT, MRI, and ultrasound devices.
