The tutorial shows the user how to take a DICOM study from a CT scan and convert this into a StereoLithography (STL) file. This file is then used as the basis for 3D printing a medically accuarate skull model. The free software packages used to produce the 3D printed skull are Osirix, Blender and Meshmixer.
