Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my STP file to STEP?

First, click the "Upload..." button and select your STP file to upload. Your STP file will be uploaded to our servers. When the STP to STEP conversion has completed, you can download your STEP file right away.

How long does it take to convert my STP to STEP?

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

How accurate is the STP to STEP conversion?

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 STP to STEP work?

In order to successfully convert an STP formatted file to the STEP format, our converter tools will perform several initial checks to ensure the file provided is indeed an STP 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 STP files to the exact specification.

Take your STP file

The STP file format is a text-based format, meaning its contents are human-readable, making STP 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 STP file and remove any information that is duplicated. STP files are notoriously slow to process, even on high-end computer systems, which is why our STP to STEP converters have been hand-optimized for speed making our STP converters the fastest available.

Convert the data from STP to STEP

Now that the data from the STP 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 STEP file format. Part of this process ensures checking the capabilities of the STEP format and removing any data that cannot be represented.

Save to the STEP format

At this point, the STP to STEP conversion tool will have the 3D model in a state that is ready to be transferred to the STEP format. Our tool creates the STEP file, ensuring all the model data is present and is formatted to match the STEP file specification to ensure the file opens in compatible STEP file editors. As STEP files can quickly become very large due to the inefficiencies of the STEP format when used in conjunction with large STP mesh files, our converter will only convert STP files to STEP when the resulting file is no larger than 100 MB.

STP 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 STP format can store additional information such as materials, tolerances, and other relevant data.

The STP 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. STP 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 STP 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 STP files can take a long time to open within editing applications, even on a high-spec, modern computer.

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

Information for converting from STP to STEP

Your STP file will be converted to a STEP 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. As both STP and STEP support color material information, our tool will also attempt to convert the color information.
