Export STEP

Needs an account (free).

Saves a CAD body as a STEP file with exact B-rep surfaces, which CAD packages read. A body from Quad Mesh to CAD Body is written as its quad cage's smooth limit surface, with the faces it reuses written as their own file draws them. A body from Solid to CAD Body is written with its exact surfaces and curves, checked valid by OpenCASCADE (surfaces STEP has no form for are written as B-splines within 0.0001 mm). For printing, use Export Mesh (3MF, STL or OBJ); a slicer turns a CAD file into triangles anyway.
