What is a STEP File Type?

In the CAD industry, sharing models between users of different CAD systems can be difficult. To solve this problem, the STEP format was developed. Designed to be used in the same way as the .PDF format to save documents in a format with wide support.

The files of the STEP model often use l' extension .STP.
