# How to open and re-export STEP, STL and 3MF files with solidcraft

Repo: [tangency-labs/solidcraft](https://github.com/tangency-labs/solidcraft) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Import a model from another tool and export it as STEP, STL, 3MF, glTF or URDF where supported.

**Who it is for:** Maker handed a model in the wrong format for their printer or viewer

**The problem:** A file in one format will not load in the tool you need next.

**The outcome:** The model opens in SolidCraft and exports in the format your next tool accepts.

## Steps

1. Open the desktop or browser app.
2. Import your file (STEP, IGES, 3MF, STL, OBJ or glTF, where supported).
3. Check the Properties panel for volume and mass.
4. Export to the target format.

## Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Help me move <file name> from <source format> to <target format> using SolidCraft. List the import and export formats the README supports and tell me what to verify, such as volume and bounding box, after conversion.
```

## Caveat

The README says formats are supported only 'where supported', so check that your specific import or export path works before relying on it for production.
