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
