It's very easy to convert step into stl using FreeCAD. I have cobbled
together a small script that converts a whole directory's worth of files.
It's crude, but it does the job for me...
#!/bin/bash
freecad -c << EOF
import FreeCAD,Part,os,Mesh
folder = os.getcwd()
# first we check for filenames that contain .stp, .step, .igs or .iges
cadfiles = []
for f in os.listdir(folder):
for ext in [".stp", ".step", ".igs", ".iges"]:
if f.lower().endswith(ext):
cadfiles.append((folder+os.sep+f, ext))
break
if not cadfiles:
print("No step or iges files found in the given folder")
sys.exit()
for f,ext in cadfiles:
print(f)
filename = os.path.basename(f)
objname = filename.replace('.stp', '')
shape = Part.Shape()
shape.read(f)
doc = App.newDocument(objname)
pf = doc.addObject("Part::Feature", objname)
pf.Shape = shape
stl = f.replace(ext,'.stl')
Mesh.export([pf], stl)
EOF

Downloaded a few 3D models from manufacturer the last days, it is very comm=
