OFFtoVRML tool
This tool was initially devised as a simple format converter (from OFF to VRML). However, during our research work lots of extra functionalities were added. Among these is the ability to write the model in other formats, as STL or PLY, or the capability to read from STL files as well. Other extra features include the possibility to explicit in the VRML file the face and vertex normals, to represent the point cloud instead of the mesh, or to include additional shapes, such as the convex hull or the minimum axis-aligned bounding box.
