STEP to X3D Translation
Methods for converting STEP (ISO 10303) exchange files to X3D files. Here we focus on direct translation; an alternative method will be to read import a STEP file into a full featured CAD program and then export either as X3D if avallable or export as VRML, then perform a VRML -> X3D translation.
CADExchanger
CADExchanger is a commercial product available for Windows and Mac OS that offers import and export for a number of formats [1]. At version 3.12 It offers import (and export) for STEP files and export for X3D. Conversion is by importing a STEP file and exporting as X3D. The developers also offer command-line products for bulk conversion, a software development kit, and development services.
Open Cascade and PythonOCC
Open Casade is a open source (LGPL) geometry kernel written in C++. PythonOCC is a Python binding to the function exposed in compiled OpenCascade libraries, and so allows OpenCascade functions to be called from Python scripts. A simple Python script calling STEP import function followed by X3D export of the model :
