There are some hurdles to be crossed even if such a program does already exist, but it would certainly save me a lot of time. iges cadfiles for f in os.listdir(folder): for ext in '.stp', '.step', '.igs', '.iges': if f.lower().endswith(ext): cadfiles.append((folder+os.sep+f, ext)) break if not cadfiles: print 'No step or iges files found in the given folder' sys.exit() for f,ext in cadfiles: s Part.read(f) stl f.replace(ext. Option 2: Somebody points me in the direction of an affordable, standalone program which can do this, preferably open source. first we check for filenames that contain. I am perfectly willing to do this, but I'd like to know whether or not I have to. This would most likely require purchasing some Application Protocols - 203 to be sure, probably 214 and 242 as well - and personally coding them into my software.

Option 1: Continue to write a program to translate STEP files into STLs. Now I'm left with a couple of options, and so I've come seeking advice.

I quickly realized that this was a somewhat larger endeavor than I had originally supposed. I have done a fair bit of research, including purchasing the ISO 10303-21 documentation on STEP files. I am a programmer by profession, and my first instinct was to write a program to do this. STEP 8 step file 1 step files 1 STEP Import 3 STEP issue 2 Stiffness 1 stitching 1 stl 1 STL export 2 STL Files 4 stl to solid 1 STP 1 straighten profile 2 Stress analysis 15 stress bar 1 stretch 1 Structural elements 1 student help 1 Student Version 1 Studio 2 Style 2 Style Conflict 3 style library 1 Style Library. I am aware that there are online utilities as well as purchasable programs which can perform this conversion, but I need to be able to do it locally, repeatedly, and in bulk. I need an automated tool which can quickly convert STEP files into STLs.
