Question by private void · Jul 05, 2013 at 03:34 PM · 3dimportexport

SolidWorks to Unity ?

Hi, Similar questions are asked, none of them helped.

How do I export my SolidWorks assembly or part , to Unity ?

With Blender (as an intermediate converter)?

Without Blender (maybe a plugin that outputs solidworks to Unity-supported formats)?

Thanks !

Try convert your file into VRML then import into MeshLabs (Free) to export again into 3DS. The whole thing is pretty fast.

I do like this because i'm using SolidEdge on my side.

Yes ! I saw $$anonymous$$eshLabs solution before but was too scared to install a new program. But $$anonymous$$eshLabs is great, lightweight, and easy to use. But I have done it by exporting *.STL from SolidWorks, then exporting DAE from $$anonymous$$eshLabs. Thanks for your answer. marking is at correct.

I export from Solidworks as a an STL file, then import to 3DS Max. Which can then be saved as an FBX file and brought into Unity

@Metalliguitare How do you Texture you models? I'm importing a model which is just coming up grey, I can't seem to apply textures to it properly, it just comes out the colour of the texture with no actual texture.

Hi, you could do that with our Asset. You can export 3MF from solidworks and out Asset Cadlink will be able to import that. Including colors and assembly structure.

See this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXwn6m8ilHE
