Overview

The STEP stands for Standard for the Exchange of Product Data. As a common file format used for 3D modelling and printing, these files are an ISO standard exchange format. This means that STEP files can read and save the complete body of a 3D model not just the basic geometries which is necessary for high levels of accuracy.

In this wiki, we will learn how to export the STEP file from the ProStructures CONNECT Edition.
