We show you how to convert an STL file to a STEP file. We reverse engineer an object using free software (FreeCAD & Nefabb). After conversion, modification is possible in a CAD software. Check out our blog to find a step-by-step picture guide: [ Ссылка ]
We have prepared a step-by-step guide for STL to STP conversion. Converting mesh files to solid models is a complex task, but in this tutorial, we will show you how. If you would like to watch our in-depth, 2-hour tutorial, we show you how to create the part in more detail: [ Ссылка ]
