How to convert OBJ to STEP
- Drop the
.objabove (the.mtlis not needed for STEP). - Check the size shown under the 3D view: OBJ has no units, values are taken as millimetres.
- Keep STEP selected and click Download STEP.
Good to know
- OBJ files from 3D scanners and sculpting apps are often very dense. STEP stores each triangle as a face, so reduce such meshes before converting (about 200,000 triangles at most).
- Models made in metres or inches arrive too small or too big — scale them in CAD.
- The faces stay flat; the model is not turned into smooth CAD surfaces.
