This cli program converts STL files into STEP file in a non-trivial way. It segments the mesh into basic shapes. That means, the generated STEP file isn't only a bunch of triangles, it has planes, cylinders, spheres etc. resulting in less memory usage and it is friendlier to CAD and CAM.
Experimental state: Only planes are implemented! Holes are supported now!
pip3 install stl2steppython3 -m stl2step myfile.stlThe out file is named similar to the input file: myfile.step, because it only replaces .stl with .step.
