SolidWorks
SolidWorks is used to develop mechatronics systems from beginning to end. At the initial stage, the software is used for planning, visual ideation, modeling, feasibility assessment, prototyping, and project management. The software is then used for design and building of mechanical, electrical, and software elements.
To import a SolidWorks .SLDPRT file or .SLDASM file Add object > Use my own 3D objects > Select your file.
Single .SLDPRT file
A SLDPRT file is a 3D image format used by SolidWorks CAD software. It contains a 3D object or "part" that may be combined with other parts into a single assembly (. SLDASM) file. SLDPRT files are typically opened using SolidWorks.
Single .SLDASM file
An SLDASM file is a three-dimensional assembly created with SolidWorks CAD software. It typically contains several SolidWorks Part (. SLDPRT) files organized into a single assembly.
Simplifying SolidWorks assemblies
It is important for the performance of your Jigs to reduce the size of your models when they are imported into Jig from SolidWorks.
You can follow our guide to simplifying SolidWorks assemblies for export which uses the built-in simplify tool to reduce the size of meshes and remove un-wanted small parts and items like fasteners, nuts, and bolts.
