Our STEP File Reader:
Much more than a STEP viewer
- Volume calculation for material and weight calculation
- Determining the surface for coatings and paintwork
- Determination of the bounding box (length, width, height) to determine the size
- Automatic identification of holes, bores and special features
- Recognition of the processing technology (turned part, milled part, sheet metal part)

What is a STEP file?
Importance of the STEP format for 3D data exchange
The STEP format (ISO 10303) is a globally recognized standard format for the exchange of 3D CAD data between different software solutions. It enables the loss-free transfer of geometries and product information, regardless of the CAD system. This makes collaboration between companies, suppliers and manufacturing companies much easier.
Importance of the STEP format for 3D data exchange
STEP files offer a high level of compatibility and enable software-independent use of 3D data. They facilitate the reuse of design data, improve interoperability and minimize errors thanks to standardized formats. In production, they ensure efficient process control, as machines and systems can access precise component data directly.
Functions of the STEP File Reader Microservice
Display and analyze STEP files directly in the browser
The STEP file reader makes it possible to display and analyze STEP files directly in the browser without installing additional software. Users can interactively view, rotate and zoom 3D models. In addition, the tool automatically extracts relevant data such as volume, surface area and bore features.
Conversion to other formats such as STL or DXF
With the STEP file reader, STEP files can be converted into common formats such as STL or DXF. This facilitates export for 3D printing, CNC machining or other manufacturing processes. Automatic conversion ensures a high level of data compatibility, which significantly reduces the amount of work required.
Integration into existing systems and workflows
The STEP file reader offers seamless API integration into ERP, CAD and manufacturing systems. This allows companies to automate their workflows and incorporate STEP data directly into existing processes. This saves time, reduces errors and enables efficient use of the extracted design and production data.
Why is a STEP reader better than a simple STEP viewer?
Simple integration into your system via API
The STEP file reader can be easily integrated into existing systems via an API. Companies benefit from automated processing of STEP files without manual intervention. The API enables a direct connection to ERP, CAD or manufacturing software, allowing data to be processed and analyzed seamlessly.
Fast processing of STEP data without additional software
The STEP file reader eliminates the need to install additional software. STEP files are processed directly in the cloud or via the browser. This allows users to quickly analyze, convert and extract 3D data without the need for powerful local computers or special CAD programs.
