Convert entire folders between STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, 3MF, glTF, and more. Mesh repair, unit conversion, tessellation control, and assembly support. Desktop alternative to CAD Exchanger — one-time purchase, no $590/year subscription. Powered by OpenCascade.
Be the first to know when 3D CAD Batch Converter launches.
Convert between STEP (AP203, AP214, AP242), IGES, STL (ASCII & binary), OBJ (with MTL), 3MF, VRML, DXF (3D), PLY, BREP, glTF/GLB, FBX, Collada (DAE), AMF, X3D, and OFF.
Everything you need to convert, repair, and prepare 3D models for manufacturing, printing, visualization, and archival — in batch.
Convert entire folders between any supported format. STEP to STL for 3D printing, IGES to STEP for CAD exchange, OBJ to 3MF for additive manufacturing. Drag-and-drop folders, set output format, click Convert. File naming templates with variables ({filename}, {format}, {date}).
Automatic mesh healing fixes non-manifold edges, self-intersections, degenerate faces, and open holes. Reduce polygon count while preserving shape accuracy. Remove duplicate vertices and unreferenced geometry. Essential for preparing models for 3D printing — catch errors before they waste filament and machine time.
Convert between mm, cm, inches, meters, and feet automatically during import. Fix axis orientation mismatches (Y-up to Z-up, left-hand to right-hand). Critical for multi-vendor CAD exchange where one team uses millimeters and another uses inches — a single wrong unit can ruin a $50,000 CNC run.
Built-in 3D viewer with GPU-accelerated rendering. Inspect models before and after conversion. Wireframe, solid, and X-ray display modes. Measure distances, angles, and bounding boxes. Verify conversion quality without opening your CAD software.
Fine-tune STEP/IGES to mesh conversion with adjustable chord deviation, angular deflection, and maximum edge length. Preview tessellation quality in real-time. Low-poly output for web/game assets, high-poly for precision manufacturing. Quality presets: Draft, Standard, Fine, Ultra.
Preserve part names, colors, materials, and assembly structure during conversion. Extract metadata to CSV/JSON for BOM (Bill of Materials) generation. STEP AP214 product data, IGES entity labels, and STL solid names are all preserved where formats support them.
Full command-line interface for scripting batch conversions. Watched folder mode monitors an input directory and auto-converts incoming files. Profile files store conversion presets. JSON output for pipeline integration. Exit codes for CI/CD. Perfect for automated manufacturing workflows.
Convert multi-part STEP and IGES assemblies preserving the part hierarchy. Export as a single merged mesh or individual parts in separate files. Assembly tree visualization shows all components with their transformations. Supports nested assemblies and external references.
Pre-configured conversion pipelines tuned for specific industries and use cases. One click, production-ready output.
STEP/IGES to STL/3MF with mesh repair, unit conversion (mm), and wall thickness validation. Process entire job queues in batch. Supports multi-color 3MF with part-level materials.
STEP/IGES to DXF/STEP with unit conversion and coordinate system alignment. Extract 2D profiles from 3D solids for waterjet/laser cutting. Verify tolerances before sending to the shop floor.
Convert between vendor-neutral formats (STEP AP203/AP214) and native mesh formats. Fix unit mismatches, axis orientation, and assembly structure. Eliminate file-translation bottlenecks between engineering teams.
STEP/OBJ to glTF/GLB with automatic polygon reduction, texture baking, and Draco compression. Prepare CAD models for web configurators, AR experiences, and game engines. LOD generation for progressive loading.
STL/OBJ/PLY from 3D scanners to STEP/IGES for CAD import. Mesh simplification, hole filling, and surface smoothing for noisy scan data. Register and merge multiple scan passes.
Convert legacy formats to modern standards. IGES to STEP AP242 for long-term archival. Generate 3D PDF documentation with interactive views. Batch-export thumbnails and rendering previews for file catalogs.

Drop 3D files or entire folders. 3D CAD Batch Converter reads STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, 3MF, glTF, and 15+ formats.
Choose output format, tessellation quality, unit system, and mesh repair options. Save presets for repeated jobs. Chain multiple operations in a pipeline.
Hit Start. Batch processing handles entire folders with per-file progress and ETA. Export individual parts or merged assemblies.
Yes. 3D CAD Batch Converter provides the same core functionality — batch conversion between STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, and 15+ formats with mesh repair, tessellation control, and assembly support — as a one-time purchase instead of CAD Exchanger's $590/year subscription.

Yes — automatic mesh healing fixes non-manifold edges, self-intersections, degenerate faces, open holes, and duplicate vertices. Essential for preparing models for 3D printing.
Yes — multi-part STEP and IGES assemblies are converted with full part hierarchy preserved. You can export as a single merged mesh or as individual parts in separate files.
Yes — auto-converts between mm, cm, inches, meters, and feet. Also fixes axis orientation mismatches (Y-up to Z-up, left-hand to right-hand coordinate systems).
No — 3D CAD Batch Converter is fully standalone. No AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or other CAD license is needed. It includes its own 3D viewer for inspecting models.
