What's New in STL to STEP Assistant

1.0.6

August 24, 2026

- New Mesh Health check: after a model loads, it scans for open boundaries, non-manifold edges, duplicate triangles and similar issues; select a count to highlight those spots on the model - New Export Prep: clean up the mesh before exporting and see what changed, with zero-area faces removed automatically by default - Export results now report the Output Body type (Solid / Shell / Surface), flag 3D printing risk when the result is not a closed solid, and add a matching filename suffix - Fixed BRep conversion failing on larger models, improved sphere detection for models far from the origin, and refined the preview and export panel messages

User reviews

300s time limit

I paid for the most expensive experience of this app and could not export my files due to a 300 seconds time limit. I want my money back

Response from developer

Hi, I am very sorry for the bad experience. A 300-second timeout is set to avoid infinite processing on large files or complex models. Due to iOS system restrictions on app execution, large files or complex models are recommended to be converted on macOS. For a refund, please request it directly through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com, as developers cannot issue refunds directly. If you are willing, please send the model file to danjian42@gmail.com so we can optimize performance for files like yours. Thank you for your reach out.
