I recently received an STL file that was 176 Megabytes long (ASCII) and
had 626,000 facets. The physical size of this part was a cube with 2 mm
sides (with lots of detailed internal structure).

My question is "Has anybody on the list used or created a utility
program that allows inputting of an STL file and outputting of a thinned
(reduced number of facets, but still retaining most of the details) STL
file?
