Here we detail how to convert your SLDPRT file to an OBJ file using the export options found within the SolidWorks application. Currently, our converters cannot convert directly from SLDPRT to OBJ. However, using the built-in export functions of SolidWorks, we can achieve the conversion.
Firstly, you will need to load your SLDPRT file into SolidWorks and select the export to STEP option. Once you have your file in the STEP format, you can use our STEP to OBJ converter to complete the conversion process.
Here are two simple steps to convert your SLDPRT to OBJ.
| Extension | SLDPRT |
| Full Name | SolidWorks |
| Type | CAD |
| Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
| Format | Binary |
| Tools | SLDPRT Converters |
The SLDPRT format is the native file format for the SolidWorks CAD application. The development of SolidWorks began in the mid-1990s by Jon Hirschtick and continues to this day.
The file format itself is a proprietary binary format representing the CAD design and all its associated components, which can be exported to many different formats, such as STL and STEP. Applications that can open SLDPRT files are currently limited to the SolidWorks application.
| Extension | OBJ |
| Full Name | Wavefront |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | text/plain |
| Format | Text |
| Tools | OBJ Converters, 3D Model Voxelizer, Create OBJ Animation, Compress OBJ, OBJ Asset Extractor, Text to OBJ, OBJ Viewer |
| Open With | Daz Studio, MeshLab, CAD Assistant |
The OBJ file format, originally created by Wavefront Technologies and later adopted by many other 3D software vendors, is a simple text-based file format for describing 3D models/geometry. This data can include vertices, faces, normals, texture coordinates, and references to external texture files.
As the format is text-based, it is relatively straightforward to parse in 3D modeling applications. A downside of the text-based format is that the files can be rather large compared to similar binary formats such as STL and compressed files such as 3MF.
Our tool will save any material and texture files separately; these additional files will be included with your final OBJ file at the time of download.
Yes! If your SLDPRT file contains textured geometry, the texture image files along with the texture coordinates (UV data) will be exported with the final OBJ file.
We aim to process all SLDPRT to OBJ conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.
We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.
Yes, of course! We do not store the SLDPRT file you submit to us. The resulting OBJ file, once created, is stored for 4 hours after upload; after this time it is deleted, and the short-term download link will stop working. You can create a long-term download Url with most tools that will ensure the file is retained for 24 hours, allowing you to download the file when convenient. Our tools also come with a Delete button, allowing you to delete the file immediately.
No. All our conversion tools process your SLDPRT file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted OBJ file quickly.
Yes! Our SLDPRT to OBJ tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.
Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our SLDPRT conversion tool please consider white-listing our website. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits and some settings may not be available when using our tools. Processing/conversion and download times will also be longer.
Yes. When you have converted your SLDPRT to OBJ, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
