It’s funny, the second I reach out to you guys my ShapeWorks app stops crashing like it used to…however I still get this error when running my model (screenshot below). 

What I can remember though is that it was a timed out error, possibly due to the file sizes of the _DT’.nrrd's being extremely large (order of 60-100 MB). If the error does pop up again, I can definitely get you the log file. 

Nonetheless, here is the error I currently get:

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your interest in ShapeWorks and we are looking forward to helping you out with your data. We have relaxed the requirement for Studio to load same image sizes. Could you share the log file with us to troubleshot Studio’s crashing?

Hi Chris,

Thanks for reaching out. 

Coincidentally, I've been working on this exact task this weekend. 

Do you have a sample stl mesh I can use? 

I'll give it a try using Python and get back to you with a solution.

Best,

Cameron

Hello Cameron!

My name is Christopher Pinto and I am an associate researcher the University of Pennsylvania. We were interested in using ShapeWorks for a shape analysis of humeral heads and scapular protrusions. Most of the data is in the STL format and we are having trouble converting to an NRRD format. I can get it into NRRD by converting things in 3DSlicer, but I can’t get the NRRDs to be the same size (bounding box issue) or to have a small file size. The GUI for Mac also crashes often and is a cause of concern.

So is there an easier/preferred way to fo from STL to NRRD? Any advice would help.

Thanks, Chris
