3D Visualization of STL Files with Python

Dive into the world of 3D visualization with Python and the Visualization Toolkit (VTK)! In this tutorial, we explore how to render 3D mesh STL files - a critical skill in medical imaging and 3D modeling.

This video covers:

Understanding the process of STL file reading in VTK
Creating a mapper to translate data for the actor
Building a visual interface with a renderer, render window, and interactor
Adding the actor to the scene and setting a background color
Initiating render and waiting for user interaction

Let's visualize the unseen together!

Using vtk 9, works great. Thanks so much.

Hi, i got a question about an error with vedo. I import vedo on my Raspberry Pi with python 3.11. and want to open a .stl file with vedo. As far as good but after a few seconds of showing the mesh in Vedo, the window closses automatically with: Process ended with exit code -11. Can you help me with this problem, please?

Hi there! Thank you so much for the video! Its exactly what i needed! I was wondering whether it would be possible for you to upload the abdomen stl from the beginning of the video. Its exactly ahat i need for my project and i cant find anything similar! Thanks in advance! 0:11

Hello, I got a question. I will need to visualize 3D on tkinter frame. Is that possible? I tried to embedding VTK render window in Tkinter frame using vtkTkRenderWindowInteractor but I got this error 'libvtkRenderingTk-9.3.dylib' (no such file), (no such file, not in dyld cache)

Is it possible to import multiple STL files with this implementation?
