What is .SLDASM File Format and How to Open it?
.SLDASM is a file format used by the SolidWorks 3D CAD software. It stores a 3D assembly of parts and components, which may include sub-assemblies, as well as the component relationships, component properties, and other information. The software uses this format to store a collection of components, parts, and sub-assemblies.
SLDASM files are created when a user saves a 3D assembly project in SolidWorks. The file format allows for the accurate representation of 3D parts, including their shape, size, color, and texture. A single SLDASM file contains a single assembly, which can then be rendered out in a variety of formats for 3D printing or other uses.
SLDASM files can be opened with SolidWorks, a 3D CAD application which is available for Windows and macOS. The software is used by many professionals in the engineering, product design, and manufacturing industries. It is also available in a free student version. Once opened in SolidWorks, the components and sub-assemblies can be manipulated and edited.
SLDASM files can also be opened with various third-party software. This includes Autodesk’s Inventor, which is a 3D CAD application, and DraftSight, a feature-rich 2D CAD application. Both of these programs are available for Windows and macOS. However, it should be noted that the editing and manipulation capabilities will be limited when opening SLDASM files with third-party software.
