You can decimate polygon meshes to almost any size you want. Use  
meshlab (free) or any of the commercial packages (geomagic, polyworks,  
rapidform...). Keep in mind though that decimation, if pushed too far,  
can remove features.

Shameless advertisement :) For more on decimation and other filters,  
you might want to check this recent paper:
