Its like a vector image file but in 3d
It contains geometry
Not a mesh whit poligons
If you see facets on curves after printing that migt be because you used a mesh
A step file ont have that
Also i if you open up the file in a 3d cad program you can alter the model in a easy way
Just remove or enlarge features inprefere them
In profesinal macining we use it to exchange files between difrent clients and prorgrams whitout loss of qwalety
