You might try Anthony Martin's ADMesh program.

The README file advertises the following features:

 * Read and write binary and ASCII STL files
 * Check STL files for flaws (i.e. unconnected facets, bad normals)
 * Repair facets by connecting nearby facets that are within a given tolerance
 * Fill holes in the mesh by adding facets.
 * Repair normal directions (i.e. facets should be CCW)
 * Repair normal values (i.e. should be perpendicular to facet with length=1)
 * Remove degenerate facets (i.e. facets with 2 or more vertices equal)
 * Translate in x, y, and z directions
 * Rotate about the x, y, and z axes
 * Mirror about the xy, yz, and xz planes
 * Scale the part by a factor
 * Merge 2 STL files into one

The URL for the source distribution is

Good luck,
