MeshLab to compute the volume (and other properties) uses the technique described in:

Brian Mirtich, ``Fast and Accurate Computation of Polyhedral Mass Properties,'' Journal of Graphics Tools, volume 1, number 2, 1996

The paper is available on the web page of the author https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~jfc/mirtich/massProps.html
