Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model SLDPRT Files to PLY

to

Here we detail how to convert your SLDPRT file to an PLY file using the export options found within the SolidWorks application. Currently, our converters cannot convert directly from SLDPRT to PLY. 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 PLY converter to complete the conversion process.

How to Convert your SLDPRT to PLY Online?

Here are two simple steps to convert your SLDPRT to PLY.

Open your SLDPRT File

Open your SLDPRT file in SolidWorks and select the Export to STEP option

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to convert my SLDPRT to PLY?

We aim to process all SLDPRT to PLY conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.

How accurate is the SLDPRT to PLY conversion?

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.

Is it safe to convert my SLDPRT to PLY on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the SLDPRT file you submit to us. The resulting PLY file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.

Can I convert my SLDPRT to PLY on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our SLDPRT to PLY tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.

What if I am using an Ad Blocker, will that affect things?

Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our SLDPRT conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.

Can I get support with converting my SLDPRT to PLY?

Yes. When you have converted your SLDPRT to PLY, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.

What format is my PLY file saved as?

The PLY file generated by our tool will be in the binary little endian format.

Description

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.

Description

The PLY format is a 3D model format originally developed and released in 1994, with its primary use being to store three-dimensional data from 3D digital scanners. The format known as the Polygon File Format or the Stanford Triangle Format can be either a binary or text-based format.

The file format stores 3D geometric information such as vertices, faces, vertex normals, color, and other custom data. The format is still in use, with many PLY models available to download, and PLY files can be loaded into most popular 3D applications, such as Blender.

PLY Notes

PLY files support per-vertex color information. If your uploaded model contains color information, our tool will attempt to save this in the PLY file at the end of the conversion process.

Supported Features

  • Mesh geometry
  • Vertex colors
  • Binary and text versions are supported when converting from PLY
  • Binary-only version when converting to PLY
