About STEP View 3D Android App

This is a great 3D STEP (ISO 10303, PDES, stp )data file viewer. Even if you use CAD software like CATIA, ProEngineer, SolidWorks, NX, etc. which might not save STEP file directly, you can certainly use the CAD software to export your model in STEP foramt and use the app to view it. With help of this app, you can take your 3D STEP files with you no matter where you are, at home or traveling abroad, and view them with your phone (or tablet) in any way you want.

The app provides many 3D features including rotating model with finger movement, zooming in/out, changing color, etc. You can also load multiple files together.

STEP data files can be added to the app's external storage folder called 'afanche'. Just connect your phone (or tablet) with a PC and copy your models to the 'afanche' folder of the device.

More info about STEP format from Wikipedia:

STEP can be used to exchange data between CAD, computer-aided manufacturing, computer-aided engineering, product data management/enterprise data modeling and other CAx systems. STEP is addressing product data from mechanical and electrical design, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, analysis and manufacturing, with additional information specific to various industries such as automotive, aerospace, building construction, ship, oil and gas, process plants and others.
