Convert SLDASM to DAE

What is SLDASM file?

The .SLDASM file extension is a 3D assembly file created with SolidWorks 3D CAD software. This format is commonly used for creating documents that are imputed into CNC machines and 3D printers. With this format, 3D assemblies can be saved or opened using SolidWorks, which is a full-featured, professional 3D mechanical engineering application from Dassault Systèmes. 3D assembly files are used to simulate the components of an actual product before it is physically created.

What is DAE file?

DAE (Digital Asset Exchange) is a file extension widely used in popular 3D software like Autodesk 3ds Max, Blender, and other applications that create 3D models and scenes. DAE file format is used as a medium to exchange 3D assets between these applications. It is based on the Collada (COLLAborative Design Activity) standard which provides an open interchange, platform-independent format. [ ⏩ ] DAE file extension

How to convert the file from SLDASM to DAE?

To successfully convert the SLDASM file to DAE, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.SLDASM). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case DAE (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than DAE).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. SLDASM to DAE. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting SLDASM files to DAE files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension DAE, while before this step we had the SLDASM file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new DAE file, or not.
