This software I made to help me design and convert models is awesome

Hey everyone, I built a little desktop tool for Windows that I've been using myself and thought others might find useful.

It started because a friend lost her original CAD file but still had the G-code — so I built a way to reverse that back into an STL. From there it kind of grew into a full converter that handles STL, STEP, OBJ and IGES in pretty much any direction.

The part I'm most proud of is the Smart Conversion feature — it takes an STL and actually detects the flat planes and circular holes and converts them into clean BREP STEP geometry instead of just wrapping the mesh. So if you open the output in Fusion or SolidWorks it has real faces you can work with, not just a dumb mesh.

It also has an STL simplifier if you're dealing with heavy files.

I figured Id Share it with the world.

Stl -> Step, etc, Software Beta

Hey everyone,
I’ve recently started building a software tool that can do a number of things like:
STL to STEP conversion
G-code to STL conversion
STL simplification / triangle reduction
I’m hoping this will help others be able to recover lost models, and make life easier
Please let me know if anyone is interested.

I’m still actively developing it, but I’m considering releasing it for others to use. If this sounds interesting or useful to you, feel free to reach out. I’d love to hear feedback and see if there’s interest in it.
