Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model STEP Files to XYZ

to

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or STEP (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 STEP files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

To convert your STEP 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 STEP to XYZ conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

How to Convert your STEP to XYZ Online?

Here are two simple steps to convert your STEP to XYZ.

Upload a STEP

Click the "Upload a STEP File" button and select a STEP to upload. The maximum file size is 50MB.

Download your XYZ

Click the download link once completed to receive your XYZ file.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my STEP file to XYZ?

First click the "Upload..." button, select your STEP file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the STEP to XYZ conversion has completed, you can download your XYZ file straight away.

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

We aim to process all STEP to XYZ conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.

How accurate is the STEP 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 STEP to XYZ on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the STEP 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.

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

Yes! Our STEP 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 STEP 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.

I have several STEP files; can I batch convert my STEP to XYZ?

Yes! Our STEP tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 25 and STEP files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the XYZ files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.

Description

The STEP file format is a 3D format defined in 1994 and used to store 3D objects for use in computer-aided design (CAD) applications. STEP files are text-based, formatted files containing one instance per line.

Although STEP 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.

STEP 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
