File information for STEP and MP4

Full Name	STEP-File
Extension	STEP
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary

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.

Mesh Geometry

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.

STEP Converter Capabilities

As the STEP format currently does not support the use of material colors when used by tool, your converted model will contain only the mesh geometry, material colors will not be transferred to your converted file.

An MP4 file is a popular file format for storing video; it has become one of the most widely supported video formats and can be opened on most devices without the need for any additional software.

One of the reasons for its popularity is its ability to compress raw video down to a manageable size without any noticeable loss of detail. It does this by using some clever lossy compression algorithms to remove detail from the video sequence that would otherwise not be noticeable to the human eye.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert my STEP to MP4?

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 MP4 completes, use the provided link to download your MP4 file.

How long does it take to convert my STEP file to MP4?

We aim to process all STEP to MP4 file conversions as soon as possible; this should take around 5 seconds; however, this may be longer for larger files.

Is the STEP format suitable for 3D printing?

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.
