STEP to STL: what carries over and what does not

STEP holds exact mathematical surfaces and STL approximates them with triangles. Curves become faceted, and how visible that is depends on the tessellation setting. For 3D printing the default is usually fine; for rendering a shiny curved part, raise it.
