How about tetrahedron tessellation algorithm? IMO it will produce *exact* result (no mathematical proof because I think it's trivially true ;) Correct me if I'm wrong ) if the density of material is constant. If we only need to calculate center of mass we can allow 'negative' tetrahedron in tessellation, i.e. tetrahedron with negative orientation, hence negative mass. You can look at 2D case, it should be much simpler (triangle tessellation with 'negative' triangle allowed) and the whole idea is same.
