STEP File Viewer

STEP File Viewer is a lightweight tool built for viewing .step and .stp files across macOS, iPad, and iPhone. Visualize STEP models from every angle with projected, section, and exploded views—even on your iPhone.

DOMAIN INSIGHT

The STEP format (ISO 10303)

STEP is a promise of precision wrapped in a plain text shell. A neutral CAD format born to keep geometry honest across software borders. It carries solids, surfaces, assemblies—clean, structured, and painfully strict. No flair, no shortcuts, just geometry described the way engineers wish the world behaved. It isn’t perfect. Files get heavy, exporters cut corners, and interpretations drift. But when you need 3D data that survives the jump from one system to another, STEP is still the steady, quietly reliable workhorse everyone ends up trusting.

CORE FEATURES

View STEP models in 3D with rotate, pan, and zoom controls using perspective projection.
Display 3D models in solid, shaded, or wireframe modes.
Load STEP/STP and IGES/IGS models.
Parse and load STEP models as assemblies (requires the model to include assembly data).
Apply axis-aligned section planes (XY, XZ, YZ) to reveal the model’s internal geometry.
Explode model components to inspect each part clearly in expanded space.
Export: Save 3D models in STL, OBJ, glTF, GLB, or USDZ formats.
Export projected views of the model—including top, front, and right views—in SVG format.
Capture and save screenshots of the viewport for easy sharing.

QUESTIONS

Can STEP File Viewer open STEP files on an iPhone?

Yes. It is built for viewing .step and .stp files across macOS, iPad, and iPhone, including projected, section, and exploded views on iPhone.

Does it support assemblies?

It parses and loads STEP models as assemblies, provided the model itself includes assembly data, and components can be exploded to inspect each part in expanded space.

What export options are available?

Models can be saved as STL, OBJ, glTF, GLB, or USDZ, and projected views — top, front, and right — can be exported in SVG.

What is the STEP format?

STEP is a neutral CAD exchange format defined by ISO 10303. It carries solids, surfaces, and assemblies in a plain-text structure so 3D data survives the jump between different CAD systems.
