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.

SAT Standard ACIS Text File

An open ASCII format for storing precise 3D geometry, developed and maintained by Spatial. SAT files enable seamless 3D data exchange between major CAD systems like AutoCAD and SolidWorks, with broad support across modeling and engineering software.

Key Features of SAT

• Precision Geometry:

  Stores exact NURBS curves/surfaces (not just meshes).

• B-Rep Support:

  Maintains boundary representation (surfaces, edges, vertices).

• CAD Neutral:

  Works across AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit, and more.

• Parametric Data:

  Preserves features like extrusions, fillets, and blends.

SAT File Conversion

SAT files enable conversion of mesh geometry into precise solid models, enhancing 3D model performance and CAD functionality. With Autoconverter, you can easily convert and export your files to SAT format for seamless editing in any CAD software.
