You might find the Isosurface command in BoneJ convenient. It is just a little plugin which uses the 3D Viewer's API.
http://bonej.org/isosurfaceI've composed a bit of code which will make a binary STL straight from an open stack (or virtual stack) without needing to visualise it, which can be handy if you are making too many triangles for your suffering GPU. It's not released, because the code is embarrassingly cut-and-pasted rather than nicely reusing methods (needed a quick solution at the time and haven't got back to fix it properly). Let me know off-list if you'd like a copy.
