My point was that I don't know of any other tool that lets me reposition a
collection of objects, each in its own .STL file, and then write out a
single comprehensive .STL file.
Slicers tend to support that very well. I think both cura and slic3r allow
to position a number of objects coming from multiple STL files and export
the whole scene as single STL or multi-volume AMF again.
I guess the only restriction is that both normally enforce positioning at
Z = 0. At least slic3r can work around that when going though the multi-tool
option, but that's probably not very user friendly anymore.
In addition, there's simarrange, which is even designed to do optimization.
I never used it myself though.
