Description

🚀 The feature, motivation and pitch

https://medshapenet.ikim.nrw/ Adding this dataset to PyG w/ an example of training a simple GNN that would enable exploration at scale across the community for allowing AI to understand the plethora of complex medical shapes that exist

I will guide @jdhenaos, @loupl, and @ericauld in completing this task (cannot assign them as assignees unfortunately)

Research direction
Inspect the existing PyG dataset interface (e.g., InMemoryDataset), understand the MedShapeNet data format (likely mesh or point cloud), implement a dataset subclass, and add a simple GNN training example using the new dataset.
