OBJ to STL question

I am new in 3d printing!
I’m puzzled by the the result of converting obj file to stl
why does what I see in zbrush a smooth surface turn into many obvious triangular shapes? How does this affect the printing result?
I actually went to a LRP facility with one stl file.
I wanted it to be 13cm, but people there told me the file’s standard size for production is only 0.50cm.
What should I do? How can I adjust the scale?

For example:
OBJ file
[<img src=“http://www.zbrushcentral.com/pixo/atn.gif”>
STL file
[url=“http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/faq.php?faq=vb_read_and_post#faq_zbc_display_images”]<img src=“http://www.zbrushcentral.com/pixo/atn.gif”>](http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/faq.php?faq=vb_read_and_post#faq_zbc_display_images)

images?
