Check out the functionality of the restyle module for Creo. It has some functions that will help meet the objective.

Two that you will likely find very useful (.stl= faceted data):

Fit freeform surfaces to faceted data.

Automatically create spline surfaces on faceted data.

I don´t know how to make smooth shape, but you can change your display style to shading with reflexion or shading.

It can hide those black edges.
