 Overview
 --------
 
-WIP.
+This **official** plugin by the `ICTEAM institute of UCLouvain
+<https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/>`__ extends Orthanc with support for
+`Encapsulated 3D Manufacturing Model IODs
+<https://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/current/output/chtml/part03/sect_A.85.html>`_,
+for the moment limited to `STL files
+<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STL_(file_format)>`__.
+
+The plugin allows to attach STL files to existing DICOM studies and to
+generate a STL mesh from structure sets (i.e., DICOM RT-STRUCT) or
+from `NIfTI binary volumes
+<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroimaging_Informatics_Technology_Initiative>`__.
+The description of these features is `available as a paper
+<https://doi.org/10.1145/3632047.3632051>`__.
 
 **For researchers**: `Please cite this paper
