BLEND Blender File

The native file format for Blender, the open-source 3D creation suite, is engineered to store and transfer complex 3D assets - including models, animations, materials, and scene data. As an all-in-one solution, it powers everything from photorealistic renders to interactive animations while maintaining Blender’s flexible, non-destructive workflow.

Key Features of BLEND

  • All-in-One Storage:

    BLEND files save everything - models, animations, textures, lighting, and scene setups in one file.

  • Wide Compatibility:

    Works perfectly across Windows, Mac, and Linux. Exports to FBX, OBJ, STL, and more.

  • Smart Compression:

    The BLEND format uses gzip to shrink file sizes while keeping all your project data intact.

  • Always Upgradable:

    Older BLEND files stay compatible with newer Blender versions.

BLEND File Conversion

Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application support importing BLEND files for conversion to CAD formats like DWG (AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD). This lets you use Blender-created 3D models in your preferred CAD environment.

Note: Currently, we support BLEND files import only (not export to BLEND format). All conversions preserve model geometry, layers, and object structure.

STP STandardized Exchange of Product File

A widely adopted file format for the exchange of 3D data across diverse computer systems, including CAD, CAM, and CAE applications. Designed to ensure seamless interoperability, STEP files provide a reliable and standardized method for sharing complex 3D models.

Key Features of STEP/STP

  • Universal Interoperability:

    As an ISO-standardized format, STEP files eliminate vendor lock-in, allowing smooth data exchange between major CAD software like SolidWorks, NX, Creo, CATIA, and more.

  • Broad Compatibility:

    Supported by numerous applications and platforms, STEP files simplify cross-industry collaboration and ensure consistency across different workflows.

  • High Accuracy:

    Unlike mesh formats such as SKP, OBJ, or STL, which may introduce distortions, STEP files maintain the precise shape, dimensions, and integrity of 3D models.

  • Materials:

    STEP/STP files retain color information per assembly, making them useful for design visualization. However, they do not support transparency (alpha component), meaning transparent materials will appear opaque.

STEP/STP File Conversion

STEP files can become quite large, particularly when they contain intricate or high-resolution 3D models. To reduce file size, our Autoconverter software offers an efficient solution by utilizing the faceted BREP representation, which can reduce file size by up to one-third. Leveraging the powerful Open Cascade framework, Autoconverter ensures full compatibility with the latest STEP standards, making it the ideal tool for optimizing STEP files without compromising quality.
