I used Autoconverter from Automapki - https://www.automapki.com/products/autoconverter.html

The most likely explanation is that the application is meshing nurbs surfaces on import.
When the STEP is exported it is most likely converting all the mesh faces to individual nurbs surfaces, resulting in a huge file size.

The low $ cost for this application suggest that it is very limited.

Yes from their features list it says:


So that appears to be what it is doing. So I would not recommend generating a STEP file that way.

@Bodo-Lutz - do you know what application your manufacturer is using that won't read in the STEP file generated from Moi?

hello,

we can open it via Proe (wildfire) or Rhino,they show different function/characteristic of picture.

you can see their difference in the attached files.

Hi Michael,
it was a special case
A manufacturer of aluminum castings in large numbers had first received STL files from me.
For reasons unknown to me, these were not enough for him.
Caused by the fact that the STL files were already checked and repaired with netfabb, I thought converting the STL file to STEP would be a good method. Obviously, this was the wrong way.
I now know that professional 3D service providers have good tools with which they can convert STEP files from MoI to STL.

We live and learn!
Thanks for your help

Seems Moi has also an export STL ! ;)

Hi Bodo-Lutz, I'm glad you have it resolved now!
