STEP to 3DM
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to STEP and 3DM interoperability and exchange that could help you with the STEP to 3DM conversion.

STEP File
STEP (STandardized Exchange of Product) is a very popular file format for the data 3D exchange between different computer systems e.g. CAD, CAM or CAE. As the STEP geometry data are stored in a text form you can expect bigger file sizes when exporting triangular meshes with thousands of faces using the Autoconverter software. However, if your geometry defines manifold solid it will try to create optimized faceted STEP brep representation which should reduce STEP file size by one-third. The STEP file format supports colors per assembly, but without the alpha component, therefore any transparency setting will be lost in the final STEP file.
3DM Rhino File
3DM (Rhino) file format for Rhinoceros software allows you to store your 3D model as smooth NURBS surfaces, triangular meshes, points or just curves. Using our Autoconverter software you can save only 3DM polygonal meshes with triangular faces, while the Autoshaper product allows you to store NURBS solids or shells which represent your model in the most accurate way. Our 3DM file converters allow you also to save Rhino files with the required 3DM file version, starting from the Rhino 2.X to the most recent Rhino 8.X file version.
