You could use Blender it's self to take the STL or OBj files then do a render to get the .JPG

There's a bit of a procedure to go through for the STL but I believe it's googlable last time we tried the out put from a 3D scanner into Blender

3D rendering but it will produce JPEGs for you.
They also have some stuff for creating STLs from objects created from blender... so sort of .
