U225X
Converting an STL to STEP can create a usable exchange file, but it does not recreate a clean parametric model. The public workflow emphasizes mesh cleanup, scale checks, reference geometry, and remodeling critical features.
TECHNICAL NOTES
FreeCAD mesh-to-solid workflow with an explicit warning about lost design intent.
