You can also try out 3DdataExpert from Deskartes or Paraform. It allows you
to merge several stl file and save it at once.

Subject: Making a single STL file from Multiple parts.

Hi all,
 
I have a customer that wants to prototype an assembly as a single part, what
the customer wants is to see the assembly as a single object, just exterior
shape.
 
The customer has all the component parts as STL files(200 pcs) but they
cannot merge them together to create a single STL file of the exterior
shape.
 
Is there some software that will merge the STL data to create a single STL
of the exterior shape? I know I can slice up the component in Quickslice and
edit out each curve to create the exterior but this takes a long time.
 
The customer has tried to merge the files in ProE without sucess, would a
point cloud or polygon manipulating software get me the external shape I
want?
 
 
Thanks in advance
