SolidWorks → STL · Online Conversion Guide
Key values of SolidWorks → STL conversion include: 将 SolidWorks 零部件/装配转为打印友好网格 便于快速原型验证与制造前评估 降低下游软件对原生格式的依赖
SolidWorks: SolidWorks is a mainstream mechanical CAD with native SLDPRT/SLDASM files, covering part modeling, assemblies, and drawings with a broad ecosystem.
STL as the target format: STL is commonly used for 3D printing/rapid prototyping, keeping triangle shells only (no materials/hierarchy).
Practical tips: 原生导入支持：直接上传 SLDPRT/SLDASM; STL 离散公差需在体积与精度间权衡; 必要时在建模工具中做简化与封闭处理.
Typical scenarios: Mechanical design, assembly collaboration, manufacturing preparation.
Why convert SolidWorks → STL

- 降低下游软件对原生格式的依赖
Quick steps
- Upload SolidWorks on the homepage
- Choose STL as the output and convert
- For very large models, run 3D Tiles tiling
- Open the 3D viewer for interactive preview/sharing

FAQ
Q: What information may be lost from SolidWorks to STL?
Parametric features/constraints/history become polygon meshes; verify materials and textures.
Q: How to reduce size for SolidWorks → STL?
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 STL, geometry is mesh-based; you can clean meshes and tweak materials, but parametrics are not preserved.
