Take many images like this:

and turn them into 3D files like this:

Interactive STL

or screen shots:

Usage Notes:

Assumes you have ImageJ installed. At the moment of writing, 3D transforms are broken with ImageJ using Java 8, and are most reliable with Java 6.

To run it, cd into the tiff2stl project. Place a directory of .tiff files, or a .tiff stack, and name the directory the name you'd like for the final file.

Running ./tiff2stl yourDirectoryName will output a file named yourDirectoryName.stl.
