Here is our free to use STEP to BLEND 3D model converter tool that will take your STEP file and convert it to the BLEND format ready for loading into your favourite 3D modeling package. Our 3D model converter supports batch processing of your files and can convert up to 20 STEP files at one time.
Drag and drop your files here to upload or click the button above.
A maximum of 20 files can be converted at once.
The STEP to BLEND model conversion tool will analyse your STEP file and convert its 3D mesh data including vertices, surfaces and where applicable vector normals and texture coordinates to the BLEND format whilst maintaining the structural accuracy of your original STEP 3D model file.

The STEP file format, also known as ISO 10303-21, is a 3D file format used within the area of computer-aided design (CAD) as a way to exchange data between different applications. The STEP format is essentially a plain text file containing commands used to describe the 3D object.
Due to the standardized nature of the format, there is support for importing STEP files into many CAD applications. STEP files can, however, become quite large, and some complex files can take a long time to import into a 3D project.
The STEP format is not a mesh-based format; converting a STEP file to a mesh format is possible via most CAD applications via a tessellate function.

As materials containing color information is supported by the STEP format, our tool will do its best to include this in the converted file.

The BLEND format is the native 3D model file format used by the ever-popular 3D modeling application Blender. Blender has been around since the 1990s, and it has grown steadily over the years, adding new features with each passing version.
The current version of Blender has many powerful features, is very popular with many budding 3D designers, and is the go-to application for videogame, animation, and film artists.
The BLEND file format is a mesh-based format, meaning the 3D models created within Blender are stored in the form of 3D meshes composed of vertices and faces. Along with 3D object geometry, Blender supports the creation of animations, and this too is included in the BLEND file.

As materials containing color information is supported by the STEP and BLEND formats, our tool will do its best to include this in the converted BLEND file.
Here are two steps to convert your STEP to BLEND using our free STEP converter tool.
First, click the "Select File" button and choose your STEP file. We will upload and convert your STEP file. Once the conversion from STEP to BLEND completes, use the provided link to download your BLEND file.
We aim to process all STEP to BLEND file conversions as soon as possible; this should take around 5 seconds; however, this may be longer for larger files.
No. Most 3D printing slicer software will not support the STEP format. It is recommended to convert your STEP file to the STL format if you wish to 3D print it.
