i see this as kind of a tough question to answer, due to the fact that lots
of .stl files are troublesome because of the way the original cad model was
created. it's especially true for surface models, which often come from
applications where the emphasis is not on creating water-tight data. the
bottom line is that if surface quilts don't have rational boundaries, then
chances of .stl problems go way up.

Subject: best solid modeler
Dear List,
I realize that not all STLs are created equal. That being the case is there
anyone with knowledge of which solid modeling program, or a ranking of
available programs is/are the best regarding detail fidelity within STL
files. I realize that there are programs for manipulating STLs outside of
the modeling programs and would be interested in a ranking of those as well,
but my primary interest is the ability of the solid modeling programs to
output highly detailed (read facet control) STLs. Thanks in advance.
