STL to STEP Assistant

Mesh models to STEP files.

What it does

STL to STEP Assistant is a focused local 3D model tool for converting mesh-based models into STEP files for CAD workflows. Open STL, STLB, GLB, 3MF, USDZ, OBJ, 3DM, FBX, DAE, PLY, 3DS, AMF, DRC, KMZ, MPD, WRL, and other model files, preview them in a clean 3D scene, choose a conversion quality mode, then export and save the current main model as a STEP file. You can also load and view STEP and STP files to inspect conversion results.

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
