Hi Jeffrey, pythonOCC is suitable for your purpose. It's such a huge API that it's not possible to develop an example for all possible study cases, but from all the examples provided with the library, you can easily import a STL file, explore the topology/geometry of the shape and then write whatever data to whatever output file.
These examples can be browsed at : http://code.google.com/p/pythonocc/source/browse/#svn/trunk/src/examples. Best Regards, Thomas 2010/11/10 Jeffrey E.
