SolidWorks3MF · Online Conversion Guide

Key values of SolidWorks → 3MF conversion include: 以 3MF 形式携带更多制造相关信息 提升打印前准备效率,减少信息丢失 与彩色/材料打印流程更好衔接

SolidWorks: SolidWorks is a mainstream mechanical CAD with native SLDPRT/SLDASM files, covering part modeling, assemblies, and drawings with a broad ecosystem.

3MF as the target format: 3MF targets additive manufacturing and supports materials/colors; more modern and extensible than STL.

Practical tips: 原生导入支持:直接上传 SolidWorks 源文件; 必要时同时导出 STL 作为兼容兜底.

Typical scenarios: Mechanical design, assembly collaboration, manufacturing preparation.

Why convert SolidWorks3MF

  • 以 3MF 形式携带更多制造相关信息

  • 与彩色/材料打印流程更好衔接

Quick steps

  1. Upload SolidWorks on the homepage
  2. Choose 3MF as the output and convert
  3. For very large models, run 3D Tiles tiling
  4. Open the 3D viewer for interactive preview/sharing

FAQ

Q: What information may be lost from SolidWorks to 3MF?

Parametric features/constraints/history become polygon meshes; verify materials and textures.

Q: How to reduce size for SolidWorks → 3MF?

Remove hidden parts, lower tessellation where acceptable, compress textures, enable Draco, merge materials.

Q: Batch or very large models supported?

Use 3D Tiles tiling for massive assemblies; consider splitting by hierarchy/area.

Q: Can I further edit after converting?

After converting to 3MF, geometry is mesh-based; you can clean meshes and tweak materials, but parametrics are not preserved.
