What is a STEP file?
The STEP file extension is a 3D image file based on an ASCII structure. It has been formatted in Standard for Exchange of Product Data format which is an ISO defined mechanism. These files are easy to read and contain one instance per line generally.
There was a time in the computer-aided design (CAD) world where it was difficult to exchange data between users using different systems. The STEP format came in as a solution to the issue and functions similarly to how PDF solves the documents transferring problem. These files use the STP extension and multiple software such as Autodesk Fusion 360, IMSI TurboCAD, and others can access it.
