Standard for product data exchange in manufacturing
STEP (ISO 10303) is an international standard for exchanging product data across different CAD, CAM, and CAE systems. It ensures interoperability between software tools in manufacturing. It is widely used for 3D models and product lifecycle data.
Advantages
Enables seamless data exchange between different systems
Reduces data loss during file conversions
Supports long-term archiving of product data
Considerations
Implementation can be complex and costly
Requires consistent version management across systems
Integration with StOB
STEP is fully supported within the StOB framework, enabling seamless integration with modern CAM systems and data management platforms. Our implementation provides enhanced compatibility and extended functionality for manufacturing workflows.
