A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.

Please note: Your STEP file, once uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload, so please download your converted STEP file before this time.

Our 3D model STEP to BLEND tool will load your STEP file and, where supported, attempt to extract all the relevant 3D features, such as geometry, textures, and animations. To access the 3D conversion configuration options, click the button when you have selected your files. The current options support the ability to voxelize your 3D model and more.

We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development, with new features being added every week.

How does converting STEP to BLEND work?

In order to successfully convert an STEP formatted file to the BLEND format, our converter tools will perform several initial checks to ensure the file provided is indeed an STEP file. There are many files out there where the file type extension does not match the data contained within the file. Along with these file type checks, our tools will do additional checks to ensure the file is correctly formatted to match the provided file type. There are many tools out there that do not always create STEP files to the exact specification.

Take your STEP file

The STEP file format is a text-based format, meaning its contents are human-readable, making STEP files straightforward to edit in simple text editors. Within this text-based format are the core elements that make up the 3D model, including points, lines, edges, faces, and more. To ensure efficient conversions, our tool will check all data that is contained within the STEP file and remove any information that is duplicated. STEP files are notoriously slow to process, even on high-end computer systems, which is why our STEP to BLEND converters have been hand-optimized for speed making our STEP converters the fastest available.

Convert the data from STEP to BLEND

Now that the data from the STEP file has been processed, our tool can apply any conversion specified options, such as enabling Voxel mode, and with these applied, prepare the data to be converted to the final BLEND file format. Part of this process ensures checking the capabilities of the BLEND format and removing any data that cannot be represented.

Save to the BLEND format

At this point, the STEP to Blender conversion tool will have the 3D model in a state that is ready to be transferred to the Blender BLEND format. Our tool creates the BLEND file, ensuring all the model data is present and is formatted to match the BLEND file specification to ensure the file can be opened in Blender and other editors that are capable of editing BLEND files.

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.

The BLEND file extension is the native 3D modeling file format of the ever-popular Blender 3D modeling software. The Blender format originally came into existence in late 1994 and has since evolved into the advanced 3D format we have today.

The format stores complex 3D mesh data along with textures, animations, lighting, and other information related to 3D scene rendering. The format is popular among those creating 3D videogame graphics and animation sequences due to its advanced features and ease of use.

Along with Blender, BLEND files can also be imported into other popular 3D editing software. The open-source nature of the format allows third-party plugins and scripts to be created to run within the Blender editing environment and extend the format's capabilities.

When converting your STEP to BLEND, our tool will attempt to accurately convert any color or material information.

Information for converting from STEP to BLEND

Your STEP file will be converted to a BLEND file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our STEP 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals, and relevant material information. As both STEP and BLEND support color material information, our tool will also attempt to convert the color information.
