Convert 3DREP to STP

Understanding 3DREP and STP file formats

The 3DREP file format is a proprietary format used by 3D Repo, a cloud-based platform for managing Building Information Modeling (BIM) data. It is designed to store complex 3D models and their associated data, allowing for efficient collaboration and version control in construction and engineering projects.

The STP file format, also known as STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product model data), is an ISO standard exchange format used to represent 3D objects. It is widely used in the CAD industry for sharing data between different CAD systems, ensuring interoperability and preserving the integrity of the 3D model data.

How to convert 3DREP to STP

Converting a 3DREP file to an STP file involves exporting the 3D model data from the 3D Repo platform and then converting it into the STEP format. This process ensures that the model can be used in various CAD applications that support the STP format.

Best software for 3DREP to STP conversion

Currently, there is no direct software or tool that converts 3DREP files to STP files. However, you can use the 3D Repo platform to export your model to a more common format like OBJ or FBX, and then use a CAD software like Autodesk Fusion 360 or FreeCAD to convert the exported file to the STP format.

For example, in Autodesk Fusion 360, you can import the OBJ or FBX file and then use the File → Export → STEP option to save it as an STP file.
