Convert 3DXML to STP

File Extension 3DXML
Full Name Dassault Systems Universal 3D XML Format

3DXML file stores data in XML format (short for Extensible Markup Language). 3DXML format is used for storing structured data of 3D objects. The format is proprietary to Dassalt Systemes, however the format specification is available to the public under open-source license.

File Extension STP
Full Name ISO-10303 STEP Product Data Format

The extension .stp refers to files of the type Step 3D CAD files. These are the proprietary files created by the graphics and modeling software, Step 3d which is used for CAD (computer aided design) purposes.

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "3DXML") to another (referred to as "STP"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, 3DXML file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format 3DXML to format STP becomes essential.

So, how can we perform 3DXML to STP file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format 3DXML and transforming it into format STP. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of 3DXML to STP converters.

How to convert the 3DXML file to STP?

If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of 3DXML to STP. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the 3DXML file:

  • Please indicate on your computer the source file 3DXML, the format of which you are going to change
  • Load the 3DXML file to the application
  • Select the output format of the STP file (the one that we want to achieve)
  • Select the location to save the output file STP on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
  • Confirm conversion
  • Wait for a moment
  • Enjoy the converted STP file that can be found in the location selected in step 4
