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

VRML Virtual Reality Modeling Language File
VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is an ASCII file format to store 3D objects with the other attributes e.g. light sources, materials, textures and world transformations, required to render the whole 3D scene in the web browser. The modern and more advanced replacement for VRML is now X3D file format. Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application software can import & export VRML files and convert them into other file formats. However please note that material textures are only processed for theIndexedFaceSet shape geometries saved in the VRML file.
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.
