    Question .STL Mesh to PCBWay CNC Manufacturing format

    Hello,

    I am trying to make a small part using PCBWay CNC Manufacturing. The part has been designed in TinkerCad
    and exported as a .STL file. Using FreeCAD I converted the part into a solid and exported into .STEP format.



    After I uploaded the part to PCBway and paid the fee, I receive an email telling me that they cannot manufacture it
    and that they need a version without any triangles.

    Is there a way to convert this object to one without any triangles and export it to .STEP format?

    Thanks in advance.

    Unless something has Changed since last year with Pcbway, Why send a step file.
    They manufactured a perfect component direct from my .STL file in 316 stainless.
