Convert SLDASM
to IGES.

Updated 2026-10-19

To convert SLDASM (.sldasm) to IGES (.iges / .igs), drop the file below and download the result, in the browser with nothing installed. Most components come through on their own surfaces: planes stay planes and holes stay cylinders.

ResultUsually true surfaces

A closed IGES solid that Fusion 360, Inventor, Onshape, SOLIDWORKS, Creo and FreeCAD open directly and a machine shop can quote from. Radii measure and faces mate like modelled geometry. Where those surfaces cannot be read, or cannot be written out exactly, they are rebuilt from the display geometry, and failing that the body is faceted; every conversion says which of the three.

No feature history: you get the finished shape, not the steps that built it.

HowThree steps
  1. Drop your .sldasm file above — up to 200 MB without an account.
  2. IGES is already selected as the output.
  3. Download the .iges. Without an account, files are deleted within 24 hours; signed in, they are kept until you delete them.

SOLIDWORKS assembly file (.sldasm)

A SLDASM file is a SOLIDWORKS assembly: parts positioned by the mates that constrain them. Sent with its SLDPRT files, the whole product converts as one and component names are kept. An assembly that stores its components’ shapes converts on its own too, every component placed where it sits — as a mesh, or as a solid whose surfaces are rebuilt from those stored shapes.

Someone sent you a whole product and you need it in a neutral format your CAD system, renderer or printer takes.

IGES file (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) (.iges / .igs)

IGES predates STEP and is still requested by older CAM systems and mould and die workflows. It stores exact geometry, but many IGES files are loose trimmed surfaces that never close into a watertight solid. Unless someone asks for IGES by name, STEP is the better choice.

A CAM programmer, toolmaker or legacy system asked for IGES, or you were handed one and need something current.

Questions9 answered
Is the SLDASM to IGES converter free?
Yes. 2 solid-geometry conversions a day with no account, of 5 in total. A free account converts 4 solid files a day and adds 25 credits. No card.
Do I need SOLIDWORKS to convert a SLDASM file?
No. The file opens and converts in the browser with nothing installed and no CAD licence.
Will the IGES file keep exact curves and holes?
Most components come through on their own surfaces: planes stay planes and holes stay cylinders. A closed IGES solid that Fusion 360, Inventor, Onshape, SOLIDWORKS, Creo and FreeCAD open directly and a machine shop can quote from. Radii measure and faces mate like modelled geometry. Where those surfaces cannot be read, or cannot be written out exactly, they are rebuilt from the display geometry, and failing that the body is faceted; every conversion says which of the three. No feature history: you get the finished shape, not the steps that built it.
Will the IGES file open in Fusion 360, Inventor or Onshape?
Yes. IGES is read directly by Fusion 360, Inventor, Onshape, SOLIDWORKS, Creo, NX and FreeCAD. It arrives as a solid body you can measure, mate and cut.
Do assemblies convert, or only single parts?
Assemblies convert whole, and components keep their names. Send the part files too — an assembly alone has no geometry. Over 5 parts needs an account.
Should I use IGES or STEP?
STEP, unless a CAM system or toolmaker asks for IGES by name. Both carry exact geometry, but STEP is the current ISO standard and closes into a solid more reliably.
How big a file can I convert?
To a mesh format like STL: 300 MB with a free account, 200 MB without one. To STEP, Parasolid or SLDPRT: 140 MB, because rebuilding a solid takes about twice the memory of writing a mesh. Maker and Studio convert up to 830 MB and 380 MB — a large conversion on a paid plan gets the server to itself.
Is it safe to upload my SLDASM file?
Files travel encrypted and are processed by machine on our own servers — no third parties, no ads or trackers, no AI training.
Is my SLDASM file deleted after converting?
Without an account, the upload and the result are deleted within 24 hours. With an account, both stay in your files until you delete them; deleted files leave our servers within 24 hours.
Beyond convertingSame file, four workspaces

Keep the part open: fill it with a lattice, check it with FEA, texture a surface, or slice it into cut-ready sheets. These workspaces are in early access — create an account, then apply from inside the app.
