Description
STEP File Viewer is a lightweight yet powerful tool for viewing .step and .stp files on macOS, iPad, and iPhone.
Key Features
• View STEP models in 3D with rotate, pan, and zoom controls using perspective projection.
• Display 3D models in solid, shaded, or wireframe modes.
• Load and view IGES/IGS models.
• Supports assembly-level colors and exploded views (requires the model to include assembly data).
• Parse and load STEP models as assemblies
• Support PMI annotations, dimension details, and model information panels in AP242 models for easier design review.
• Measure auto-detected hole features, bounding box dimensions, point-to-point distances, diameter/radius, and angles to verify key dimensions more quickly.
• Apply axis-aligned section planes (XY, XZ, YZ) to reveal the model’s internal geometry.
• Explode model components to inspect the parts clearly in expanded space, with the ability to export selected parts as separate files.
• Export 3D models in STL, OBJ, glTF, GLB, or USDZ formats for further use or sharing.
• Capture high-quality viewport screenshots for easy sharing.
• No ads. No tracking. No data collection. Just a clean, efficient tool built for productivity.
The STEP format (ISO 10303) is widely supported by 3D CAD, CAM, CAE, and PLM applications.
Recommended For:
• Engineers & Designers: Review designs on the shop floor or during client meetings.
• Machinists & CNC Operators: Quickly verify part geometry before production.
• 3D Printing Enthusiasts: Easily convert professional STEP files to STL for slicing.
• Students & Educators: Visualize complex structures without expensive CAD licenses.

What's new (v1.0.9)
- New hole feature auto-detection and measurement — scan all circular holes in the model with one tap, with quick diameter/radius annotation
- New bounding box measurement — automatically calculate length, width, height, and volume of parts or assemblies
- New assembly part recognition scan — measure part bounding box dimensions with one tap
- Exploded view now supports exporting selected parts to separate files; the part list panel allows quick switching and locating of part views
- Improved measurement focus camera — one tap to auto-adapt to the optimal viewing angle
- Exploded view measurement rules now restrict measurements to within the same part, preventing cross-part annotation misalignment
- New PMI/GD&T information browser panel (located in the sidebar's Model tab), supporting filtering by type, source, and confidence level to explore product manufacturing information
