While I was looking for something to translate a #$%^& STL (sterolithic) model, I stumbled across [url=http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/]MeshLab. It has a lot of nice widgets and stuff for doing other processes, but I was interested in getting a few files posted on a 3D printer site into OBJ file format to examine them.

Fast and flawless if you have an STL file! Very good point reconciliation; you get a model 99% of the time, not garbage you can't work with!
