Kara,

The InVesalius software is a DICOM converter. I think most people here will think 3Shape's encoded format of an STL file when they here, 'dcm' as that is the extension 3Shape assigns to their file types.

Dicom is .dcm. Did I understand you correctly?

All the dicom I've seen is .dicom. .dcm is a proprietary 3Shape format isn't it? Maybe I'm wrong. Anyone have a .dcm from a 3Shape scanner they can run through this converter and see?..

I believe DICOM files can have other extensions than just .dcm

No doubt. My self-centeredness simply thinks of 3Shape files rather than dicom files when I see the extension .dcm. I was just trying to avoid some confusion.

Please don't be hard on yourself. It's all very confusing. I didn't know anything about this til just yesterday when I asked someone, and I used the 3shape scanner for 8 months.

I stand corrected....apparently 3Shape has named their files ".dcm", but they are not in anyway related to the true medical .dcm DICOM files. I don't know why 3 Shape named theirs the same, although I can imagine. Sorry for getting everyone excited. You could always try our software. If their output is in points it will work. If it is in polygons, it won't, and it is probably in polygons. (addendum-I just found out it is in triangles so it will not work with ours but Rhino has a Plug-In if you wanna shell out the bucks)

Sorry guys,
k
