Here we detail how to convert your SLDPRT file to an STL file using the export options found within the SolidWorks application. Currently, our converters cannot convert directly from SLDPRT to STL. 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 STL converter to complete the conversion process.
Here are two simple steps to convert your SLDPRT to STL.
| 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 | STL |
| Full Name | Standard Triangle Language |

| Open With | Blender, Daz Studio, MeshLab, CAD Assistant |
The STL file format has its roots in the 1980's and is the native file format for 3D Systems stereolithography CAD software. The format defines a triangulated mesh with vertices and faces and is a popular format for sharing 3D printable model files.
There were several formats that attempted to extend the STL format, namely SolidView and VisCAM, whose formats included limited 15-bit color information for each mesh face, which is often ignored by most modern 3D software. The STL format can be either text or binary; our tools will support both formats.
The standard STL file format does not support colored faces, vertices, or texture information. The STL file generated by the tool will contain only raw mesh/triangle data by default, which is perfect for 3D printing.
The tool also has the option to save the file to one of the non-standard formats that support colored faces, such as VisCAM and SolidView which is perfect if you want to further process the STL in software that supports these formats.
We aim to process all SLDPRT to STL conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.
The STL file format describes an unstructured triangulated surface of the triangles using a 3D Cartesian coordinate system. STL files do not contain any scale information, and the units are arbitrary. We have a more detailed description of an STL file here.
Our tool will save all STL files in binary format. Optionally, our tool will allow you to save to the non-standard color STL format.
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 STL file quickly.
Yes! Our SLDPRT to STL 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 site. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.
Yes. When you have converted your SLDPRT to STL, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
