STEP to GLTF
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to STEP and GLTF interoperability and exchange that could help you with the STEP to GLTF 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.
GLTF File
GLTF (Graphics Language Transmission Format) file format is developed and maintained by the Khronos Group organisation. There are currently two versions of GLTF file format, the first 1.0 and the newest one 2.0, with the preference for the version 2.0 as it is more recent. By default a GLTF file is saved in an ASCII text mode. To save a GLTF file in a binary mode with all referenced texture images a GLB file extension should be used instead of a GLTF. The import and export of GLTF and GLB files is fully supported by our Autoconverter and Automesher Application conversion tools.
