Free DCM to STL converter

I would like to know how this is converted and if there is a decoding code
 
I decoded it with base64, but the data I got was not what I wanted. I think it was encrypted again.
 
Used it the other day. Worked great!
 
Hi

I've created a simple online tool to convert 3Shape DCM files to STL format. I'm making it available free of charge in case someone finds it useful. Feel free to try it out using the link below.

If you encounter any issues, please let me know. Note that there is currently a limit on upload file size due to server limitations.

dcm file formate??
 
This is not "Our" Program, and definitely Zero credit to me personally.
The thread opener kindly made it public to convert 3Shape dcm scans to standard Stl Files.

The Dcm File Format is used by 3Shape Software for 3D Scans ( Surface Scans of Models or Intraoral Scans mostly ) and can contain additional Informations like colors etc. which are lost after converting, there is no public documentation i think.

Do not confuse 3Shape 3D Scan-Files with Dicom 3D Data !!! They may use the same File extension.

Is there any way you could increase the max file size to 10mb? I can basically only use this for bite scans :(

Also, amazing work. Such a great little tool for such a common annoyance!

The server has a hard limit on request size and response size. By limiting the DCM file size to 5 MB I ensure that the resulting STL file doesn't get bigger than the max allowed response size. I understand this can be a problem for DCM files that contain texture data, as they can be a lot bigger than 5 MB and still not contain a lot of geometry. Perhaps I could limit uploads based on vertex count rather than file size in a future version.
 
It would be so much nicer if you could just make it as portable APP.

Out of curiosity, why does that work better for you?
If I'm wrangling a DCM file I'm inevitably on a desktop because you're using design software or sth similar, I can't think of a situation in which an app would be more convenient than a browser-based tool. Not saying you're wrong to want that, I'm just curious why it'd be useful.

If we could run the site locally on our own PC's, would we be able to get around that? i.e., you drop it onto github with some instructions to run local? :)

Hi, this is a very intersting feature. Is it possible to provide more information about the conversion?
 
How to know the exact format of the 3shape DCM file? I found that the 3shape DCM files are not normal DCM files.

thank you so much!! this is the best thing if you do not have 3Shape you save me today !!!
 
This is really helpful!
I’d like to ask if there are any solutions available for running the conversion locally. Thanks!
 
Hi, new here and looking into this. It's great, but I would love to programmatically convert hundreds of dcms with this tool without uploading things over the internet? Would you be so kind as to make it available in some local format?

For anyone else that's still interested, I will offer my .3ml password hashing services if you'd like.
