    Do you have a sample file? Is it encrypted as they can be?
    Even my angiogram scans were encrypted and could only be displayed using the supplied disk.
    Copying the disk created junk.

    I think Magics from Materialize does this, but like everything designed for the medical industry, it ain't cheap.

    Google DICOM to STL and you'll find a bunch of stuff. Then you can just pop the STL into your CAM software.
