The information is gone. There is no way to automatically reconstruct a
curve from a sequence of straight lines. A human can do this because he
can see what was intended.
A better approach is to create a slicer that can work with .STEP files
directly. The trouble with that is the mathematics
Since it looks like there's little or no progress on an update to the STL
format, there is work going on for 3D printer G-code post processing to refine
and smooth curves or even convert curves defined by a series of straights to
real arcs for printers that have hardware and firmware capable of

Greetings 3d printer X-spurts;
I just downloaded the .stl kit for a nema 17 powered, gt2 belt driven
reduction gear.
if i may ask, what did you download

Remember the workflow. You start with a 3D model where the resolution is
literally "perfect" as the curves are defined by mathematical functions.
Then you convert the 3D model to an STL and an STL can contain only
straight lines. No circles, no curves. When you make the STL you get to
specify

You are free to conclude what you want, of
