STEP to VRML Conversion
Use our powerful converter to quickly change STEP to VRML - here's how:
Install Autoconverter
Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert STEP files to VRML format.
Import STEP File
Click Open... to load your STEP file (.stp, .step), or drag and drop it into the application window.
Export to VRML Format
Use Save As... to export your file to the VRML file format (.wrl, .vrml).

STandardized Exchange of Product File
A widely adopted file format for the exchange of 3D data across diverse computer systems, including CAD, CAM, and CAE applications. Designed to ensure seamless interoperability, STEP files provide a reliable and standardized method for sharing complex 3D models.
Key Features of STEP/STP
- Universal Interoperability: As an ISO-standardized format, STEP files eliminate vendor lock-in, allowing smooth data exchange between major CAD software like SolidWorks, NX, Creo, CATIA, and more.
- Broad Compatibility: Supported by numerous applications and platforms, STEP files simplify cross-industry collaboration and ensure consistency across different workflows.
- High Accuracy: Unlike mesh formats such as SKP, OBJ, or STL, which may introduce distortions, STEP files maintain the precise shape, dimensions, and integrity of 3D models.
- Materials: STEP/STP files retain color information per assembly, making them useful for design visualization. However, they do not support transparency (alpha component), meaning transparent materials will appear opaque.
STEP/STP File Conversion
STEP files can become quite large, particularly when they contain intricate or high-resolution 3D models. To reduce file size, our Autoconverter software offers an efficient solution by utilizing the faceted BREP representation, which can reduce file size by up to one-third. Leveraging the powerful Open Cascade framework, Autoconverter ensures full compatibility with the latest STEP standards, making it the ideal tool for optimizing STEP files without compromising quality.
Virtual Reality Modeling File
A a 3D file format used to describe interactive 3D objects and environments. It’s like HTML for 3D = it tells your computer how to display shapes, colors, textures, lighting, and even animations in a virtual space. VRML files can be viewed in web browsers with the right plugin or in 3D modeling software.
Key Features of VRML/WRL
- 3D Geometry: Defines shapes like boxes, spheres, cylinders, and custom meshes.
- Appearance Settings: Supports colors, textures, transparency, and material properties.
- Scene Hierarchy: Uses a node-based structure to organize objects and behavior.
- X3D Successor: The VRML format was developed in the 1990s and became an ISO standard in 1997. It was later superseded by X3D, which is an XML-based format that supports VRML features and provides several extensions.
VRML/WRL File Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application simplify the process of importing, exporting, and converting VRML/WRL files into widely used 3D formats such as STL, OBJ, PLY, FBX, and more. Take your VRML models beyond the browser and seamlessly integrate them into CAD, animation, or 3D printing workflows with our powerful VRML converters.
