Common Use Cases

Engineering Collaboration

Convert between STEP, IGES, and native CAD formats for sharing designs across SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Fusion 360, and CATIA.

3D Printing Preparation

Convert CAD files to STL for 3D printing. Ensure proper mesh resolution and watertight geometry for successful prints.

Web Visualization

Convert CAD models to lightweight formats for web-based viewers. Enable client reviews without requiring CAD software installation.

CNC Machining

Export CAD designs to STEP or IGES for CAM software integration. Prepare toolpaths for CNC milling and machining.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pro Tips

Export at Appropriate Resolution

When converting CAD to mesh formats like STL, adjust the chordal tolerance to balance file size with geometric accuracy.

Clean Geometry Before Export

Remove duplicate faces, fix normals, and repair gaps in your CAD model before conversion to avoid issues in the target format.
