STL file into surfaces
(OP)
Is there a way to have an imported ".stl" file converted or modified into surfaces?

RE: STL file into surfaces
The only way I know is the MedCad plugin (add on)for Mimics. The Mimics website is at:

But if you find free software, tell me!
RE: STL file into surfaces
Pro/Engineer, CATIA and Rhino can all import STL data and generate surfaces from it...Look at software by Geomagic as well.. We use Pro/E's Reverse Engineering Extension, which uses Geomagic's software.. We use it to generate surfaces from STL files, point clouds, and scan data.
These are all a far cry from being free but they will get the job done. Last time I looked at Rhino there was a free demo of the software, which lasted for 20 uses or something.
