CAD → Mesh & DCC

Convert STEP to OBJ

Bringing CAD geometry into Blender, Maya, or another DCC tool. 100% client-side — your files never leave your browser.

🛡 Files never leave your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
STEP 1
Drop your STEP file

Drag and drop, or click to choose a STEP file. It's parsed entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

STEP 2
Confirm the target format

OBJ is preselected on this page. Change it, adjust unit scale/axis in Options, or add more files to batch-convert.

STEP 3
Download your OBJ file

Once conversion finishes, download the result directly, or grab the whole batch as one ZIP.

The Honest Part

What changes when you convert STEP to OBJ

✓ Kept
  • Triangle mesh geometry
  • PBR materials
  • vertex or material colors
✗ Lost
  • scene hierarchy / part names

OBJ cannot represent scene hierarchy / part names — those are computed away during export, not silently corrupted.

STEP to OBJ technical reference

Source format ISO 10303 CAD Solid (.step, .stp)
Target format Wavefront OBJ (.obj)
Conversion engine Runs entirely client-side via WebAssembly + Three.js
Upload required No — files are read and converted locally

STEP to OBJ FAQ

Is my STEP file uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs 100% inside your browser using WebAssembly and client-side JavaScript. Your STEP file, and the OBJ file it becomes, never touch a server.

What does converting STEP to OBJ keep or lose?

Kept: Triangle mesh geometry, PBR materials, vertex or material colors. Lost: scene hierarchy / part names. OBJ cannot represent scene hierarchy / part names — those are computed away during export, not silently corrupted.

Can I convert multiple STEP files to OBJ at once?

Yes. Drop as many files as you like — they queue and convert one at a time (to keep memory use predictable), and you can download each one individually or all together as a ZIP.

Is there a file size limit?

There's no hard limit — you're bound by your device's available memory. Large batches (50+ files) convert serially to stay within a predictable memory budget.

Do I need to install any software?

No installation, plugins, or account are required. This runs in any modern browser that supports WebAssembly (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari).
