How to convert an STL file to STEP or Part?

Hello everyone,

For the sake of a design I need to convert an STL file to a STEP and then add it back to an assembly.

Here are the STLs I want to convert to PCs.

Thank you in advance.

Hello;
Open your STL with Solidworks then with save-sub, choose the STEP format...

  • I don't really see the difficulty, have you tried?.
    Personal note: I prefer the Parasolid (x_t) format to the STEP format to promote the reconstruction of STLs in volume.
    The second personal note is: why not save them directly in Solidworks format?

Kind regards.

Yes, sorry, I'm not clear enough in my explanations.

I found ends in STL on a download site for 3D prints, the problem is that it is not possible to download in another type.
And I need this part to add it into an assembly and then print it.

That is why I asked this question.

…
Your approach leaves me ... Perplexed, but good.
Here is the conversion of your two files to STEP format.

Thank you, but could I know you went about converting them to WWTP?

I explained it in my first post...

  1. I open the STL files with Solidworks.

  2. I'm patient...

  3. I go to File/save as/... I choose the STEP format from the list available.

  4. I wait (a long time) until Solidworks finishes its work.

(note: for security I added a 2' step by saving the STL in SLDPRT format... to re-open them more easily in case of a crash).

Kind regards.
