Pick the mesh quality
Draft, Standard or Fine. A tighter tolerance gives smoother curves and bigger files.
- Draft
- 0.2mm
- Standard
- 0.05mm
- Fine
- 0.01mm
Convert a whole folder
Drop dozens of files, or a whole folder, at once. They convert in parallel and download as one ZIP.
- .step
- .stp
- .iges
- .igs
Check it before you slice
Open any result in a 3D preview and orbit around it to make sure every part came through.
How to convert STP to STL
.stp is the short file extension for STEP, the standard CAD exchange format, and most CAD programs save with it. Slicers cannot print it directly, so it needs converting to an STL mesh first.
-
Add your files
Drop your .stp files onto the converter, or click Choose files. .step and IGES files work too, and you can drop a whole folder.
-
Pick a mesh quality
Standard works for most prints. Choose Fine for small parts with tight curves, or Draft for quick checks.
-
Download your STL files
Save each STL on its own or everything as one ZIP, then open it in Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer.
STP to STL questions
Is STP the same as STEP?
Yes. .stp and .step are two file extensions for the same format (ISO 10303, often called STEP AP203, AP214 or AP242). Both work here, and there is a page just for STP to STL.
Which programs export STP files?
Almost every CAD program: SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, FreeCAD, Inventor, CATIA, Creo and more. Look for STEP or STP in the export or Save As menu.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Your CAD files are read from your disk, converted in your browser's memory and saved straight back to your disk. Nothing is sent to a server.
What units does the STL use?
STL files have no units. This tool exports in millimetres, which is what slicers assume, so parts load at the right size.
What do Draft, Standard and Fine mean?
They set how closely the triangles follow curved surfaces: within 0.2 mm, 0.05 mm or 0.01 mm. Standard suits most FDM and resin prints. Use Fine for small parts with tight curves.
What does "One STL per body" do?
By default an assembly becomes a single STL. Turn this on to get a separate STL for each body, grouped in a folder named after the source file.
Can I convert STL back to STEP?
Not with this tool. STL only stores triangles, so the exact curves and features of the original CAD model are lost. Keep your STEP or IGES file as the master copy.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no fixed limit, but very large assemblies can run out of browser memory. If a file fails, try Draft quality or convert it on its own.
Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no watermark and no limit on the number of files.
