Hi Pilou,

Yup, it's a polygon format.

Yes there will be some small amount of error because of the polygon conversion. It should be pretty small though.

It's hard to estimate it directly, it depends on various model-specific factors like how curvy the surfaces are. If you need particularly high accuracy you may want to use another CAD program to do the measurement rather than using the STL method, unless of course you were actually planning on using some STL based method for generating the physical part in the first place.
