Fusion 360 can convert STL mesh files to bREP solid bodies. Use the Insert Mesh tool, which allows STL, OBJ, and 3MF mesh files.

Once inserted, Mesh files can be converted with the Convert Mesh feature. Converting an STL to a Mesh with Fusion 360 is now streamlined. Fusion 360's new mesh tools allow you to convert as a Faceted or Prismatic option. Prismatic will provide phenomenal results that are similar to a native Fusion 360 file or an imported STEP file.
