An imported STEP file is converted to a triangle mesh on import (making it much like a typical .stl or .3mf file) which means that slicing all happens as one would normally expect.

Step 5: Slicing your file with Desired Settings Into a G-code File Slicing a file means preparing a CAD model for turning it into a G-code file that 3D printers can make use to create an object.

Multiple file-format choices exist, but you might want to consider taking additional steps when saving your parts for 3D printing.

I want to do some very basic editing of STEP files, e.g.: Read in two or three STEP files, align the components with respect to two faces or two axes, and save Read in a STEP file, delete a few ...

Step 1—Create your 3D model Please ensure your 3D model meets the following printer-specific requirements: File Format— Your 3D model file must be saved in STL (binary.stl) format. Make sure to export ...
