Convert SLDASM to JT

Understanding sldasm and jt file formats

SLDASM is the file extension for SolidWorks Assembly files, which store 3D assembly data, references to part files, and assembly structure. JT (Jupiter Tessellation) is a lightweight 3D data format widely used for product visualization, collaboration, and CAD data exchange, especially in PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) environments.

Why convert sldasm to jt?

Converting SLDASM to JT enables easier sharing of 3D assembly data across different CAD and PLM systems, reduces file size for visualization, and enhances interoperability in collaborative engineering workflows.

Best software for sldasm to jt conversion

The most reliable way to convert SLDASM to JT is by using Siemens NX or SolidWorks with the JT Export add-in. These tools ensure accurate geometry and assembly structure translation.

• Siemens NX: Import the SLDASM file, then use File → Export → JT to save as a JT file.
• SolidWorks (with JT Export add-in): Open the SLDASM file, then use File → Save As and select JT as the output format (requires the add-in).
• Autodesk Inventor (with plugins): Import SLDASM, then export as JT if the plugin is available.

Online converters and alternatives

There are limited online converters for SLDASM to JT due to the complexity and licensing of these formats. For best results, use professional CAD software or dedicated conversion tools like CAD Exchanger or Okino PolyTrans, which support batch conversion and preserve assembly structure.

Tips for successful conversion

• Ensure all referenced SLDPRT files are available in the same directory as the SLDASM file.
• Check the exported JT file in a JT viewer to verify geometry and assembly integrity.
• Use the latest versions of software for improved compatibility and feature support.
