Export & Sharing

Data Management

The Export Management page (titled 'Data Management' in the app) is where you organize products in folders and export STEP or STL files.

Last updated Apr 26, 2026

Overview

Open Export Management in the dashboard sidebar. The page shows a file-manager-style table of your products on the right and a folder list on the left. Use it when you want to focus on file output rather than active editing.

The file table

The table shows each product as a row with these columns:

Menu	Per-row dropdown for export and other actions
Title	Product name
Created at	When the product was first created
Modified	When the product was last updated
Export Types	Available formats — STEP, STL
Creator	Username that owns the product

Folders

Use folders to group related products. Every account starts with the default QuantCAD Products folder (the unfiled bucket). You can:

• Create new folders
• Rename folders
• Delete folders (only when empty)
• Move a product between folders via the row menu, or with the Move Product dialog

The default QuantCAD Products folder cannot be deleted. To delete a custom folder, first move every product out of it.

Exporting STEP and STL

Click the chevron in the Menu column of any row. The dropdown offers:

• Export as STEP (*.STEP)
• Export as STL (Draft) (*.STL)
• Export as STL (Normal) (*.STL)
• Export as STL (High) (*.STL)

Exports run in the background. When ready, the file downloads automatically and you'll see a confirmation toast. If something goes wrong, the toast shows an error message you can act on.

STL quality presets

Draft

Coarsest mesh. Smallest file. Best for quick previews and iteration.

Normal

Balanced detail and file size. Good default for most prints.

High

Finest mesh. Largest file. Use for smooth surfaces or visual detail.

STEP exports are not affected by the STL quality preset — they preserve the underlying B-rep geometry.

Editing properties

Each row also exposes a Properties dialog where you can edit a product's title and an optional description (up to 300 characters). The same dialog appears in the Dashboard list — edits made anywhere are reflected everywhere.
