❓ How can I convert files from STEP to STL?

First you need to add file for conversion: drag and drop your STEP file or click the "Choose File" button. Then click the "Convert" button. When STEP to STL conversion is completed, you can download your STL file.
⏱️ How long does it take to convert STEP to STL?

Mesh conversion is pretty fast. You can change STEP to STL in a few seconds.
🛡️ Is it safe to convert STEP to STL on AnyConv?

Of course! We delete uploaded files immediately, and converted ones after 1 hour. No one has access to your files. File conversion (including STEP to STL) is absolutely safe.
💻 Can I convert STEP to STL on Mac OS or Linux?

Yes, you can use AnyConv on any operating system that has a web browser. Our STEP to STL converter works online and does not require software installation.

Information about STEP and STL file formats

🔸 File format	STEP	STL
🔸 Full name	Standard for the Exchange of Product model data	Stereolithography File Format
🔸 File extension	.step	.stl
🔸 MIME type	application/step	model/stl, model/x.stl-ascii, model/x.stl-binary
🔸 Developed by	ISO	3D Systems
🔸 Type of format
🔸 Description	STEP is a neutral file format that allows the transfer of files between different CAD software. The development of STEP started in 1984 as a successor of IGES, SET, and VDA-FS. STEP format (Standard for the Exchange of Product Data) is an ISO standard exchange format. It is used for representing three-dimensional data in a format that multiple programs can recognize. ISO standard number: 10303.	STL is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems. Many other software packages support this file format. It is widely used for rapid prototyping, 3D printing, and computer-aided manufacturing. STL files describe only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object without representing color, texture, or other common CAD model attributes. The STL format specifies both ASCII and binary representations. Binary files are more common since they are more compact.
🔸 Technical details	STEP formats can be used to exchange data between CAD, Computer-aided manufacturing, Computer-aided engineering, Product Data Management/EDM, and other CAx systems (Computer-aided technologies). STEP is the same as STE and STP. The disadvantage is that a STEP file is not editable, and the design tree of the model is not available either.	An STL file describes a raw, unstructured triangulated surface by the unit normal and vertices (ordered by the right-hand rule) of the triangles using a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. All STL coordinates were required to be positive numbers in the original specification, but this restriction is no longer enforced, and negative coordinates are commonly encountered in STL files today. As a result, STL files contain no scale information, and the units are arbitrary.
