Closed STEP stock block — 40 × 30 × 20 mm

One closed faceted BREP with six planar faces. Triangulation yields 12 triangles, eight unique geometric positions, bounds 0,0,0 to 40,30,20 mm, surface area 5,200 mm² and volume 24,000 mm³. Hard-normal vertices may be duplicated.

Testing contract

Expected to pass
Scenario
Import the closed manufacturing stock block into a CAD reader and compare independently triangulated geometry with the companion expectations.
Expected result
One closed faceted BREP with six planar faces. Triangulation yields 12 triangles, eight unique geometric positions, bounds 0,0,0 to 40,30,20 mm, surface area 5,200 mm² and volume 24,000 mm³. Hard-normal vertices may be duplicated.

What is a .step file?

STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product model data) is an ISO 10303 CAD format that stores precise boundary-representation solid geometry and product data as structured text. Unlike mesh formats, it preserves exact curves and surfaces for engineering use. It is the leading neutral format for mechanical CAD interchange.

How to use this file

Use an example STEP file to test CAD B-rep parsing, precise-geometry import, and interoperability tooling between mechanical design and CAM applications.

How to use this file for testing

“Closed STEP stock block — 40 × 30 × 20 mm” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Data import. Realistic faker-generated datasets with documented schemas for testing import and ETL flows.

Documented properties for this file: STEP · 3,203 bytes. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

3D and CAD fixtures carry one small, documented solid or scene. Convert and inspect against the known geometry, units, and structure; format twins let you diff interchange fidelity, and the 3D viewer previews the actual mesh.
