Hi everyone.  I just bought a CR-Scan Otter to help me with reverse-engineering parts and making customized things for various items.  The Otter gives me completed scans in one of 3 file formats: .OBJ, .PLY or .STEP

I've never had any success in Solidworks importing a .STL file and converting it to anything else (had limited success in Spaceclaim years ago doing this, but no longer use the software).
