Fig. 10From: DICOM segmentation and STL creation for 3D printing: a process and software package comparison for osseous anatomyVisualization of the STL model created with IN3, which had the largest volume and number of triangles, the STL model with the reduced number of triangles, and the shape error (signed distances) after superposition. When the original number of 1,247,962 (a) triangles were reduced to 200,000 (b), the surface of the STL model appeared to be slightly rough. In the color map, the entire area was green (c). The mean shape error was 0.02 mmBack to article page
