Hi, I’m interested in using vtkSurfaceNets3D mentioned in [“Really Fast Isocontouring”](https://www.kitware.com/really-fast-isocontouring/) article of the Kitware blog.
However, python vtk module seems not have vtkSurfaceNets3D. I found only vtkSurfaceNets2D.
Is there any way to call `vtkSurfaceNets3D` using vtk python module?
```auto
In [1]: import vtk
In [2]: vtk. __version__
Out[2]: '9.2.6'
In [3]: s2 = vtk.vtkSurfaceNets2D()
In [4]: s3 = vtk.vtkSurfaceNets3D()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[4], line 1
----> 1 s3 = vtk.vtkSurfaceNets3D()
AttributeError: module 'vtk' has no attribute 'vtkSurfaceNets3D'
```

I suspect it’s a versioning issue. Try downloading something more recent [https://vtk.org/download/](https://vtk.org/download/) or build the tool from the main branch.

Thanks, I find that the latest vtk 9.2.6 on pypi is released 15 Feb. 2023 and that is too old.
