By default RTAB-Map exports only the points (not the polygons). To export a mesh, the option "Meshing using GP3..." in the Export dialog must be checked (older RTAB-Map versions have this parameter in Preferences->3DRendering). However, the mesh generation is pretty basic (using the
PCL approach described here). You may want to generate yourself the mesh from the point cloud.
I put some screenshots here:




The last screenshot is with the option MLS post-processing checked to smooth the surface before meshing. See this
PCL tutorial about smoothing.
