Exported MESH scale issues

I just learned that our engineering team is having issues overlaying a scan to their CAD in Solid Works. Has anyone seen this before? The scan was exported as a MESH in a STL file. This has been the only way to export data and allow it to be opened in any other program. Regular point clouds will not open for us. I do npt know if it something on my end or if it is out of my control.

    The Mesh is exported in the units in which it was created. You can also select alignment when exporting. If there is a scaling issue it would be helpful to check the import settings of your application.

    Did you know, you can import a CAD model into PC-DMIS and align the Mesh to it? Then you can create a Mesh Colormap to do the comparison.
