Using Meshlab to Clean and Assemble Laser Scan Data

Step 7 Exporting The Mesh

Meshlab is capable of exporting the watertight mesh into a variety of file formats such as .STL, .OBJ, .PLY, .3DS and .U3D among others. This makes it a great tool for converting your mesh into a format that can be imported into a 3D modeling program such as 3D Studio Max, Rhino, Silo 3D, Blender or to integrate your file into .PDF file using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9. Just go to File/Save As and choose the appropriate file format from the drop down menu. Importing the new files varies depending on the software you are using, but is generally a simple process.
