A STP file, also known as a STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product) file, is a widely used 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) file format. It serves as a neutral data exchange format that allows users to share 3D models across different CAD software applications. The format was developed by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) to promote interoperability and data exchange between various CAD systems, thus enabling seamless collaboration and communication among designers, engineers, and manufacturers.

STP files store 3D geometry data, including surface and solid models, as well as information about the structure, materials, and other attributes of the design. These files use a standardized structure that represents the model in a precise and unambiguous manner, ensuring consistency and accuracy during the data transfer process. The format's broad adoption in the industry has made it a go-to choice for exchanging complex 3D models, facilitating the smooth transition of designs from one software platform to another without loss of critical information or fidelity.

Since STP files are platform-independent and vendor-neutral, they eliminate the need for converting between different proprietary formats, reducing potential errors and saving time. The versatility and comprehensiveness of the STP format have made it an essential component of modern engineering and manufacturing workflows, enabling professionals to work efficiently, streamline their processes, and bring high-quality products to market faster.

STP Converter Capabilities

Our STP 3D Model/Mesh tool does not support any color material data contained within STP files so the converted file will not contain any color information.

An OBJ file is a widely used file format in 3D computer graphics that serves as a standard representation for 3D models. It stands for "Object" and was originally developed by Wavefront Technologies. OBJ files store geometric data, such as vertex positions, normals, texture coordinates, and face information, describing the surface of a 3D object. This data is presented in plain text, making OBJ files human-readable and easy to exchange between various 3D modeling and rendering software.

The structure of an OBJ file is based on vertices (points in 3D space), which form the building blocks of the 3D model's shape. These vertices are organized into faces, typically triangles or quads, representing the surfaces of the object. Alongside the geometric data, OBJ files can also include material information, enabling the application of textures and shaders to the 3D model, providing it with color, reflectivity, and other visual properties.

Due to its simplicity and compatibility across different software platforms, the OBJ file format has become a popular choice for sharing 3D models. However, being a relatively basic format, OBJ files may not support complex features found in more advanced formats like animation data or high-level shader definitions. Despite this limitation, OBJ remains a widely adopted format in various industries, including gaming, animation, virtual reality, and 3D printing.

Information for converting from STP to OBJ

Your STP file will be converted to a OBJ file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our STP 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals and relevant material information. Our tool will not attempt to transfer any color information if present in your STP file, your final 3D model will contain geometry data only.
