How to Open SolidWorks File in Microsoft 3D Viewer

Sep 26, 2024

Do you have SolidWorks files that you want to view in Microsoft 3D Viewer? Here's how you can do it easily. SolidWorks is a popular 3D modeling software used for creating mechanical designs, while Microsoft 3D Viewer is a convenient tool for viewing 3D models. Opening SolidWorks files in Microsoft 3D Viewer allows you to quickly visualize and share your 3D designs without needing to install additional software.

To open a SolidWorks file in Microsoft 3D Viewer, you'll need to first convert the SolidWorks file into a format that is compatible with Microsoft 3D Viewer. The recommended file format for compatibility is the Universal 3D (U3D) file format. SolidWorks allows you to save your designs in the U3D format, making it easy to transfer your files to Microsoft 3D Viewer.

Here are the steps to open a SolidWorks file in Microsoft 3D Viewer:

1. Open your SolidWorks file in the SolidWorks software.

2. Once your design is open, navigate to the 'File' menu and select 'Save As.'

3. In the 'Save As' dialog box, choose the 'Save as type' option and select 'Universal 3D (*.u3d)' from the drop-down menu.

4. Choose a location to save your U3D file and click 'Save.'

5. Now that you have saved your SolidWorks file in the U3D format, you can open Microsoft 3D Viewer on your Windows computer.

6. In Microsoft 3D Viewer, go to the 'File' menu and select 'Open.' Navigate to the location where you saved your U3D file and select it.

7. Your SolidWorks design will now be opened in Microsoft 3D Viewer, allowing you to rotate, pan, and zoom to view your 3D model from all angles.

Opening SolidWorks files in Microsoft 3D Viewer is a simple and effective way to share your 3D designs with colleagues, clients, or other stakeholders who may not have access to the SolidWorks software. By following these steps to convert and open your SolidWorks files in Microsoft 3D Viewer, you can easily showcase your designs in a user-friendly and accessible format.

In addition to the U3D file format, SolidWorks also supports other file formats such as STL, OBJ, and VRML, which can also be opened in Microsoft 3D Viewer. Experiment with different file formats to find the best option for your needs, and enjoy the convenience of 3D visualization through Microsoft 3D Viewer.
