PowerMill from Delcam can accept stl input. Haven't heard much about it
from users yet but you might check it out at:

Dear John:

We might add the following:
website adress for DeskProto is    www.deskproto.com

Both software packages are aimed at a different application area:
for Powermill the emphasis is on complete functionality (it is targeted
at mouldmaking professionals), for DeskProto the emphasis is on
ease-of-use (targeted at designers for Rapid Prototyping).
As a result a larger price-difference is present too: a factor 10 to 15.

Best Regards,

Lex Lennings.
