Convert SLDPRT to X_B

Understanding sldprt and x_b file formats

SLDPRT files are SolidWorks Part files, used by the SolidWorks CAD software to store 3D part models, including geometry, features, and metadata. X_B files are Parasolid Binary files, a widely supported neutral CAD format developed by Siemens PLM Software. X_B files are used for exchanging 3D model data between different CAD systems, preserving precise geometry and structure.

Why convert sldprt to x_b?

Converting SLDPRT to X_B is essential when you need to share 3D models with users of other CAD software that do not support the native SolidWorks format. The X_B format ensures high compatibility and accurate geometry transfer.

How to convert sldprt to x_b

The most reliable way to convert SLDPRT to X_B is by using SolidWorks itself, as it natively supports both formats. Here’s how you can do it:

• Open your SLDPRT file in SolidWorks.
• Go to File → Save As.
• In the Save as type dropdown, select Parasolid (*.x_b).
• Click Save to export your file as X_B.

Best software for sldprt to x_b conversion

SolidWorks is the best and most accurate tool for this conversion. If you do not have access to SolidWorks, consider using Autodesk Inventor or FreeCAD (with appropriate plugins), but be aware that results may vary and some features may not transfer perfectly.

Online converters

There are online services like CAD Exchanger and AnyConv that can convert SLDPRT to X_B. However, for sensitive or complex models, desktop software is recommended for better security and fidelity.

Summary

To convert SLDPRT to X_B, use SolidWorks for the most reliable results: File → Save As and choose Parasolid (*.x_b). This ensures your 3D model is accurately transferred and compatible with a wide range of CAD applications.
