Convert CID to STL

Can you convert CID to STL?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert CID to STL?
No - not a direct conversion.

A .cid stores implant parameters, not a printable 3D mesh, so it does not convert to STL. Surgical guides exported from coDiagnostiX (after planning) are what become STL - the .cid is only an input to that workflow.
