Convert PLY to STP
| File Extension | PLY |
| Full Name | Polygon Format |
File with a .PLY extension contains a 3D image stored with headlines and sets of apexes of polygons which compose an object. It is compliant with the Polygon File open format. File can also store properties of each polygon, such as colour, transparency or information on textures.
| File Extension | STP |
| Full Name | ISO-10303 STEP Product Data Format |
The extension .stp refers to files of the type Step 3D CAD files. These are the proprietary files created by the graphics and modeling software, Step 3d which is used for CAD (computer aided design) purposes.
What is file format conversion?
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "PLY") to another (referred to as "STP"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, PLY file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format PLY to format STP becomes essential.
So, how can we perform PLY to STP file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format PLY and transforming it into format STP. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of PLY to STP converters.

How to convert the PLY file to STP?
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of PLY to STP. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the PLY file:
- Please indicate on your computer the source file PLY, the format of which you are going to change
- Load the PLY file to the application
- Select the output format of the STP file (the one that we want to achieve)
- Select the location to save the output file STP on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
- Confirm conversion
- Wait for a moment
- Enjoy the converted STP file that can be found in the location selected in step 4

I cannot see the file extensions. What should I do?
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
