How to import a downloaded ".SLDPRT" file into Blender? Using VRML 1.0 is not an option

I would like to use SolidWorks fileformats in Blender, but Blender does not allow it to be imported, but most of the content here is in SolidWorks. How can I make it work, I only use Blender, and I'd like to use SolidWorks formats that can be found on this website.

I asked Andreas Gkertsos to add access to his project to allow people to add renders and files to it but until then, I have taken his file and saved it in a bunch of different file formats. I hope one of these will work in Blender for you, I am not familiar with this software so if you know of a file format that you would like I can try to include it. Hope this helps.

hi, i use blender on Ubuntu 17.04 but I don't think that makes much of a difference.
so if you don't know how to import files on blender, you click "file", then hover over "import". when you hover over that, it'll show you the available formats you can import into your space.
.SLDPRT isn't an available option. so you have to find a way to convert it into a format that blender accepts. either that or look around for blender add-ons. so far I haven't found a program or add-on that will help you to do either option. but if you google it, you'll likely find some third party software that'll help you out.
good luck.

You can just use the workbench here on GrabCAD. Create a new project, upload the .SLDPRT flie. Click on the uploaded file to open it. On the top right, click on "File Options" -> "Download as..." and you can simply download the .SLDPRT file as an .STL file, for example.

You can sign up in 3D content central, upload your Solidworks ASM or PART then you can download it in your preferred format included STL.
I often use this way when i don't have acces to solidworks, you don't even have to install any program.

Many people will upload other formats like STEP or IGES. Is they don't ask them or ask some one from the community to convert a specifics file for you.

You can download e-drawings from here

then load in your solidworks file then "save as" stl and then import into blender.
