Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model STP Files to XYZ

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or STP (STEP-File) model files to a standard XYZ (Point Cloud) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages such as Blender or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple STP files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

To convert your STP file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a XYZ file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the STP to XYZ conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

How to Convert your STP to XYZ Online?

Description

The STP file format is a 3D format defined in 1994 and used to store 3D objects for use in computer-aided design (CAD) applications. STP files are text-based, formatted files containing one command per line, with a full 3D model comprising of many commands.

Although STP files are widely supported by most CAD applications, the format does have its limitations, such as the necessity to read the complete file into memory in order to parse the contents, and due to the textual storage of information, the files can be quite large and time-consuming to process.

STP Notes

XYZ files, when imported, will be converted to 3D geometry comprising vertices and faces. If the XYZ file contains color information, this will be converted where possible.

Description

The XYZ is a 3D file format used for representing 3D Point Clouds. The format contains only positional information (X, Y, and Z coordinates) for the individual points. The format is often used for digital elevation modeling of terrain for later processing in 3D modeling applications.

As the format only contains positional information, a common task is to convert this into a fully surfaced 3D model using methods such as Alpha Shapes or Delaunay Triangulation. The format can also be viewed without further processing in its raw format.

XYZ Notes

Only vertex information will be saved to the XYZ Point Cloud file generated by our tool; all other information, such as faces and material colors, will be discarded in the final file due to this information not being supported.

When creating a preview of the XYZ file, our tool will render the Point Cloud as individual squares.

Supported Features

  • Mesh vertex data

Frequently Asked Questions

If my STP file is compressed, can I still use it?

Yes. If your STP file is compressed, our tool will detect this automatically and load the 3D model from the STP file as normal.

How long does it take to convert my STP to XYZ?

Our STP to XYZ file converter is up to 4x faster than other online or offline file converters, meaning your files are converted quickly and hassle-free. Smaller files are typically converted instantly, while larger files will take longer to process.

How accurate is the STP to XYZ conversion?

We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.

Is it safe to convert my STP to XYZ on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the STP file you submit to us. The resulting XYZ file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.

Do I need a high-spec. computer to use the STP to XYZ converter?

No. All our conversion tools process your STP file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted XYZ file quickly.

Can I convert my STP to XYZ on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our STP to XYZ tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.

What if I am using an Ad Blocker, will that affect things?

Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our STP conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.

Can I get support with converting my STP to XYZ?

Yes. When you have converted your STP to XYZ, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
