Frequently Asked Questions

Is it free to use the STEP conversion tools?

Yes! Our STEP conversion tools are 100% free to use.

Are there any STEP conversion usage limits?

No, you can convert as many files as you wish. We do not impose any conversion limits on our STEP conversion tools.

How long does it take to convert my STEP?

We aim to process all STEP conversions as quickly as possible; this usually takes around 5 seconds; however, this can be longer for certain files and significantly longer for some larger file formats, so please be patient.

What does the STEP conversion process involve?

Once your STEP file has been uploaded and we know the file format you wish to convert it to, our bespoke conversion software will convert your STEP and make it available for you to download with a unique download URL.

Is it safe to convert my STEP on FabConvert.com?

Yes, of course it is! Your STEP, once converted, is deleted 20 minutes after upload, and the download link will expire after this time.

STEP file format information

Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Text

STEP files are a 3D file format used to store complex 3D object definitions in a standard format to facilitate data transfer between compatible 3D modeling and CAD (Computer Aided Design) applications. In addition to storing 3D object data, the STEP format can store additional information such as materials, tolerances, and other relevant data.

The STEP format was first released in the early 1990's, has become a standard for 3D object storage, and is used in automotive, electronics, and other industries. STEP files can be opened in most modern CAD applications and can be imported into many 3D modeling applications too.

The file content is ASCII text-based and conforms to the ISO-10303-21 standard. The 3D object contained within the STEP file is described using a combination of points, lines, and edges. Due to the format being ASCII text, complex objects can lead to large file sizes. In addition to large file sizes, some complex STEP files can take a long time to open within editing applications, even on a high-spec, modern computer.

STEP Converter Capabilities

Our STEP converter can both convert from and to STEP files, and our developers are working to improve our STEP conversion tools in future versions. When converting 3D model or mesh files using our STEP converter, we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.
