Here we detail how to convert your SLDPRT file to an PCD file using the export options found within the SolidWorks application. Currently, our converters cannot convert directly from SLDPRT to PCD. 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 PCD converter to complete the conversion process.
Here are two simple steps to convert your SLDPRT to PCD.
| 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 | PCD |
| Full Name | Point Cloud Library |
| Type | 3D Model/Point Cloud |
| Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
| Format | Text & Binary |
| Tools | PCD Converters, 3D Model Voxelizer, Create PCD Animation, Compress PCD, Text to PCD, PCD Viewer |
PCD files are a Point Cloud 3D format created to enable high-speed loading and saving of Point Cloud data to either a text-based format or a compressed binary format.
The format can be either text-based or binary. In the text format, point coordinates are stored on a single line with an option color value. The file contains a header section that defines the data fields that are present in both text and binary formats.
We aim to process all SLDPRT to PCD 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 PCD 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 PCD file quickly.
Yes! Our SLDPRT to PCD 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 PCD, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
