Open a SLDPRT file
in FreeCAD.

Updated 2026-10-01

FreeCAD cannot open SLDPRT files: SOLIDWORKS parts are not among the formats it imports. Convert it to STEP below, then open the .step in FreeCAD. FreeCAD imports a STEP file as an exact solid, with its colours if the file carries them.

Can FreeCAD open SLDPRT files?

FreeCAD cannot open SLDPRT files: SOLIDWORKS parts are not among the formats it imports. Checked against FreeCAD's own documentation on 2026-10-01.

Why STEP?

STEP carries exact solid geometry and FreeCAD imports it, so the part arrives as a real solid rather than triangles.

Is the conversion free?

Yes. Without an account, 2 solid-geometry conversions a day are free, with no card and nothing to install.
