igs and stp import export

Hi

I have a model in both stp and igs formats which is to be used in a prototyping machine.

If I import say the igs file into Moi, make some changes and export back to igs, will the data still be of the same type.

With my limited understanding, what I'm thinking is:

Alibre or Solidworks create solids as opposed to surfaces. Is Moi also a solid modeler? And when it writes a file in igs format will the objects still be solids?

Hope my question is clear.
