Both STL and DAE formats are used for CAD modeling purposes, so it is likely that some programs may be able to perform stl to dae conversion. However, this will likely only work for meshes as STL format is somewhat limited (for 3D printing) in other data.

The tables with software actions are a good pointer for what a certain program does with various file types and often may give users a good hint how to perform certain file conversion, for example the above-mentioned stl to dae. However, it is not perfect and sometimes can show results which are not really usable because of how certain programs work with files and the possible conversion is thus actually not possible at all.
