Problem with a lot of 3D scanner produced stl files is they are often bad. Holes, non manifold edges, inverted normals, degenerate faces, naked edges etc the list goes on. Generally they are OK if you want to 3D print them, but if you want to edit or modify for CAM operations you may have problems. Converting to other formats can sometimes create even more problems! I've done a lot of it lately and it's a PITA! Running them through netfabb first before converting sometimes works. http://cloud.netfabb.com/ Often you still end up manually editing mesh faces which can be very time consuming indeed.
