Convert SLDPRT to CAD

File Extension SLDPRT
Full Name SolidWorks Part Format

Files with the .SLDPRT extension can contain images, namely three-dimensional objects, or part of a file, which, coupled with other parts, can create a set saved in a single SLDASM file.

File Extension CAD
Full Name CAD Drawing Format

File with a .CAD extension contains CAD data, such as 2 and 3D dimensions and the geometry of parts. They are used to store projects of designed products and parts. In the newer editions of the software, the format has been substituted by BBCD files.

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "SLDPRT") to another (referred to as "CAD"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, SLDPRT file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format SLDPRT to format CAD becomes essential.

So, how can we perform SLDPRT to CAD file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format SLDPRT and transforming it into format CAD. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of SLDPRT to CAD converters.
