What Industrial Marketers Need To Know About STEP

General News

Summary

STandard for the Exchange of Product model data or (STEP) for short is the most common neutral CAD file type. STEP files enable engineers to pass data between suppliers, contractors, and customers even if they all use different CAD systems. If the file sizes for each item in their assembly are bulky, it slows their system down and causes slowdowns in the engineer’s workflow. For example, STEP files are not mated and constrained, which means moving parts are either completely separate, or come in as one solid model. You can have your STEP files imported into a system that generates models instantly, or you can have a native catalog created for your parts.
