    Cyberform International can do this for you, I'm pretty sure.

    Their address is:
    407 International Parkway, Suite 403
    Richardson, Texas 75081
    (972) 690-7700
    Fax (972) 690-7999

    Ask to speak to David Crook.
    We have done work with patient CT data converted to .stl and then to
    stereolithography models. I have seen their facility and depending on the
    CT format you have, he should probably be able to convert this for you. I
    don't know what they would charge.

    Good Luck,

    Kelly Baker
