Hi Josh,

The stl files are for input to a 3d printer. I've cc'd Chris to see if there's another format he'd want to try. Otherwise, it doesn't sound too hard to add meshlab to the data processing pipeline.

Hi Liz,

At the moment, ply. It's not hard to convert using MeshLab, for example
(open, save as).

Are stl files of general use to you? A lot of the meshing community prefers
indexed formats (ply, obj, etc.) because they are more compressed and preserve
mesh topology. Going to stl is a one way street---it can be tricky to do
stl->ply.

Hi guys...

Can Cleaver output surface meshes in the STL file format?
