Converting .3D file to NX/Solidworks workable file extension

Converting .3D file to NX/Solidworks workable file extension

Converting .3D file to NX/Solidworks workable file extension

(OP)
Hello,

I have seen this come up as an issue, but no real help on converting. I have received a (.3D) Spinfire file, I need it in an IGES, Step, parasolid, anything that I can open with NX6 or SolidWorks 2010. I have downloaded a trial spinfire and it will not export any useable file for those programs.

Does anyone have any ideas for coverting this file to something I can use? Going back to the customer and asking for another type file is not available at this time.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks, I looked into both of those and neither open up a .3D part. I will just have to tell the boss that they need to send something that is typical.

I did find out though that Spinfire uses a proprietary file the (.3D) and that is why all these converters will not import them.

Thanks for the help though!

Bryce
