CAD programs work with STEP solids, not STL triangle meshes. This converter wraps the mesh as a STEP file your CAD software can import, so you can position, measure and reference it in an assembly.
Why convert STL to STEP?
- Bring a downloaded STL into SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape or FreeCAD
- Use a scanned part as a reference in a CAD assembly
- Send a STEP file to a supplier who requires it
What to know
- The result is a faceted solid made of the original triangles, not a parametric model with editable features.
- STEP output is a Pro feature. The 24-hour pass unlocks it with a single payment.
How to convert STL to STEP
