What is BREP?

BREP is the native exact-geometry format of the OpenCascade kernel, used by FreeCAD, CadQuery and many engineering tools built on it.

Full name
OpenCascade boundary representation
Type
Exact CAD geometry
Used in
FreeCAD, CadQuery, Salome, OpenCascade-based tools
Strength
Lossless for OpenCascade-based software.
Limits
Rarely supported outside the OpenCascade family.

What is STP?

STEP stores exact CAD geometry: true planes, cylinders, cones and freeform surfaces joined into solids. It is the standard way to move parts between CAD systems such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Inventor, CATIA and FreeCAD.

Full name
ISO 10303 (Standard for the Exchange of Product Data)
Type
Exact CAD geometry
Used in
SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Inventor, CATIA, FreeCAD, Onshape
Strength
Exact, editable geometry that every CAD program can open.
Limits
Not used directly by slicers or game engines; it has to be meshed first.

Good to know

Both BREP and STP store exact CAD geometry, so this is a direct translation using the OpenCascade CAD kernel. We check the converted part has the same volume as the original.

Questions

Do I lose any accuracy converting BREP to STP?

No. The exact geometry is translated directly; it is never turned into a mesh.

Are colours and assembly structure kept?

Geometry is kept exactly. Colours and assembly names may not carry over between CAD formats.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Conversion runs in your browser and your file stays on your computer.
