3D data for a 3D printer. You don't really need access to a printer. Just
make sure the software can export to OBJ or STL. It won't be print ready
anyway because it will need support material. The printing software can
help out with that though. But it needs a solid model to start with. I
assume all your models are solid, or at least each piece is.

I'm guessing the data is there since you're exporting to PovRay. Just let
me save the geometry, and I'm happy enough. Let me actually save OBJ or STL
(stl format might be easier to code), and a it's more accessible.
Converting 3D data isn't quite as simple as converting a jpg to tiff, or
png. Some data is just points, while others define surface directions and
things like that.

If you manage to export a 3D file I'd be happy to test it out for you. I've
got enough software at work that I can manage to open Most 3D data formats.
