Thanks cowski, I did export .dat before posting but I can't open it with a mesh software like blender or meshlab, I suspect this option is strictly for engineering software like matlab etc.
I wanted to use this mesh for 3d printing because it's much cleaner than what the regular 'remesh' option gives you. Exporting as default .stl is the messiest so I don't even touch it. I had best results with 'remesh' but using variable triangle size. That was the cleanest geometry so far. The issue is when you print in high definition using a regular .stl export it creates bands on parts.
Maybe you can do a little workaround, you can export the mesh to .jt
and then either open the jt file into NX ( file open or File- import-part , -there is no "import-JT") and then export stl , which then, i guess , should be 1:1. ( ?)
( the JT file only contains facets and, no "re-faceting" should occur ? )
I don't know if Blender or Meshlab can read JT.
