RAW POV-Ray Triangles File

A minimalist ASCII format that stores 3D geometry as plain lists of triangle vertices (X,Y,Z coordinates), without material, color, or topological data. Designed for simplicity, RAW files represent models through raw triangle meshes - ideal for computational workflows where only vertex positions matter - but lack the support for textures or hierarchies.

Key Features of RAW

• File Simplicity: Plain text human-readable format with no headers or metadata.
• Data Content: Stores only vertex coordinates (X Y Z per line).
• Geometry Type: Exclusively represents triangle mesh vertices.
• Small Size: Minimal file overhead due to bare-bones structure.

RAW File Conversion

Automesher Application and Autoconverter software are capable of reading and importing RAW files through the use of the Open Asset Import Library, enabling seamless conversion of triangle-based RAW files into a variety of other formats such as STL, OBJ, DAE, SKP, STEP, and more. Try our reliable RAW converters to export your RAW files into modern formats today!

STP STEP File Format (Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data)

The STEP file format (also known as STP) is a widely recognized ISO standard for exchanging 3D data across different computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and computer-aided engineering (CAE) systems. Designed for seamless interoperability, STEP files enable accurate, reliable sharing of complex 3D models across industries like engineering, aerospace, and manufacturing.

Key Features and Benefits of STEP Files

• Universal Interoperability: As an ISO-standardized format, STEP files eliminate vendor lock-in, supporting smooth 3D data exchange between major CAD software such as SolidWorks, NX, Creo, CATIA, AutoCAD, and more.
• Broad Software Compatibility: Widely accepted across industries, STEP (.stp, .step) files ensure consistent workflows and simplify collaboration between different design teams and software platforms.
• High Precision and Integrity: Unlike mesh-based formats like SKP, OBJ, or STL, STEP files maintain the exact geometry, dimensions, and topological details of 3D models without introducing mesh distortions or inaccuracies.
• Assembly Color Support: STEP files retain color information at the assembly level, enhancing design visualization. However, they do not support transparency effects (alpha channel), so transparent objects are rendered opaque.

How to Convert and Optimize STEP Files

Large STEP files can be a challenge, especially when dealing with complex or highly detailed models. Our Autoconverter software provides an efficient solution, allowing you to optimize and convert STEP files easily. By using the faceted BREP (Boundary Representation) method, Autoconverter can significantly reduce file sizes - sometimes by up to 30% - without losing critical model fidelity.

Powered by the industry-leading Open Cascade technology stack, Autoconverter ensures full compatibility with the latest STEP standards and offers fast, high-quality STEP to STL, OBJ, SKP, or other 3D file format conversions. Start optimizing and converting your STEP files today with our powerful tools!
