# Convert STEP to 3MF Online: STP to Mesh Geometry

Convert STEP/STP models to 3MF mesh geometry. Print profiles, materials and manufacturing instructions are not created.

Convert a STEP or STP model to 3MF when you need mesh geometry in a 3MF package. The output does not include print settings or manufacturing instructions.

## Check the STEP geometry before export

Confirm units and that the bodies you intend to print or view are present. 3MF will carry the tessellated shape, not the original CAD construction.

## Convert STEP to 3MF geometry

Choose 3MF and download the file. The conversion writes core mesh geometry. It does not write printer profiles, slice settings or manufacturing instructions.

## Treat the result as a mesh

Declared 3MF units are converted to millimetres when CADProps measures the file. Dimensions and area are approximate. Volume requires a closed, consistent mesh.

## Questions

### Can I convert STEP to 3MF online?

Yes. Upload a STEP or STP file, choose 3MF and download the mesh package.

### Does the 3MF file include print settings?

No. The conversion contains geometry only. Printer profiles and manufacturing instructions are not created.

### Is 3MF volume the same as the STEP solid volume?

No. 3MF measurements are mesh approximations. A closed STEP solid can have a precise volume; the 3MF result depends on the triangle mesh.
