I don’t think it’s possible now. But I wanted to know if anyone else has looked at this problem and perhaps found a good solution? Some users want to export the models from our babylon into their CAD workflow, for example by exporting as .STEP or similar. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi, There is a STL exporter. It may help you

> **[STLExport | Babylon.js Documentation](https://doc.babylonjs.com/typedoc/classes/babylon.stlexport)**

> Class for generating STL data from a Babylon scene. \[API\]

Or you may use [glTF Exporter | Babylon.js Documentation](https://doc.babylonjs.com/extensions/glTFExporter) and convert GLTF to needed format as in [numerous online converters](https://3d-convert.com/en/convert/gltf-to-stp.html) (you may need to find somewhere the converter which you need).  
It may depend on your workflow, parameters which need to be exported etc.  
But if STL format is OK for you - use @MarianG advice, this is the simplest and effective way.
