Filleting a corner with 3 radii is non-trivial. No single ball radius can stay tangent to all faces at once, and the corner must be filled with a general n-sided blend, typically a Gregory patch that matches tangency along every bounding arc. Example: a 5 mm, 3 mm, and 2 mm corner has three fillet surfaces of different sizes meeting at mismatched heights, so the filler surface is a numerically-solved patch, not a primitive.

Here is a silly airport toy conversion, but it looks great so we decided to share!

Have you checked your STL Export Quality? It comes down to surface deviation (distance) and normal deviation (angle). Curved regions benefit from more triangles and print smoother. Lower settings are fine on flat, prismatic parts; but on a cylinder, sphere, or fillet it leaves coarse facets the slicer reproduces as visible flats or banding.

[Convert2Step @Convert2Step]

Lower normal deviation (angle) produces more frequent, smaller flats/bands.

Another STL to STEP example part! Use the Vertex Highlight and Edge Highlight tools to inspect before & after!

Beta Users help us out and hit 👍 or 👎 to let us know if you were amazed or disappointed by a conversion. If you are okay with sharing your model geometry, press 👎 then there is an option to "Allow use" for us to train on. No pressure though. Feel free to read the terms 1st

@Boaztheostrich @repkord @CNC_Kitchen @joeltelling @Shpigford @3D_Musketeers @3DGloop @BrierRat @amypretzel @ruben_kostard @earthtojake Hi Boaz, it sounds like you have a beta key. If so, just click the thumbs down button 👎on the gui and there is a button for you to allow us to use this model for regression! Glad you are enjoying so far!

@BrierRat @repkord @CNC_Kitchen @joeltelling @Shpigford @3D_Musketeers @3DGloop @amypretzel @ruben_kostard @earthtojake Hi Brian, Yes. It's deterministic: the same file with the same settings always produces the same STEP geometry, so your results are repeatable run to run. We verify by running automated regression testing in comparison to previous releases.
