File Extension FBX
Full Name Autodesk FBX Interchange Format

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "STP") to another (referred to as "FBX"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, STP 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 STP to format FBX becomes essential.

So, how can we perform STP to FBX 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 STP and transforming it into format FBX. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of STP to FBX converters.

We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the STP file:

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