What is? STP File Format and How to Open it?
Within the field of computer-aided design (CAD) tools, programs such as SolidWorks, TurboCAD, and Autodesk Inventor make use of the 3D assembly file format, and STP file format. Usually produced by a computer-aided design (CAD) tool upon the creation of a 3D model, its goal is to retain data regarding 3D assemblies.
The STP file format is built upon the ISO Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data, STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data). The STP format is, for all intents and purposes a container for the STEP file’s contained product data. It covers details on the three-dimensional assembly and its elements, including their dimensions, positions, and any other relevant considerations.
Many computer-aided design (CAD) applications can open and view STP formatted files. Users of most of these programs can change the 3D model found within the file. Users may, for example, change the colors of the objects, enlarge them, rotate them, and add comments. Many computer-aided design (CAD) programs let users create animations from the 3D models found in the STP file.
Along with reading STP files, users of some computer-aided design (CAD) systems can export their files in several 3D formats, including OBJ, STL, or DXF. Furthermore, this makes it easy to distribute the 3D model to others even without their access to the original CAD tool.
Generally speaking, the process of 3D modeling depends critically on the STP file format. With this platform, users may save, view, and distribute their 3D models to other people.
