> STEP 4: THE EXPORT
>
> ACCEPTED FORMATS FOR FULL COLOR 3D PRINTING:
>
>  .X3D, .X3DB, .X3DV, .WRL, .OBJ
>
> NOTE: Maya exports .VRML2 (similar file type as a .WRL) but doesn’t export it correctly.
>
> .OBJs are the best format to export from Maya. However, at this time, not all of the third-party 3D print companies accept .OBJ files.
>
> Here is a way around this.

... tutorial goes on to show use of Meshlab to load .obj and export .x3d model.  Nice screenshots too.
