Importing STEP, SAT, INV, IGES into Blender
 

I am a linux - open source user and I would like to load the CAD files into blender. Anyone know of python import script for this? Or maybe another open source CAD programs that do support these file types?

Are there 3D libraries for the parts? thats would be much easier.

I think a few of these programs might convert most of what you need.
