GrabCAD Workbench Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Importing Files made in Solidworks to Blender?

  This -might- work for you: create a (free) GrabCAD workbench account (not the community item though they seem to be linked): GrabCAD - Workbench and then upload your file into a project of some kind. It will take a little while, but the file should import properly (and show/be available as 3D), as an assembly. You should (I have not tried this with an assembly) then be possible to go to the file and "Download As"... Source: about 2 years ago

• Idea for a PDM (sort of)

  Grabcad Workbench does this to some extent. It's not what I'd consider an elegant solution - all it does is save historical copies of your files - but it does work. My robotics team has used it for a while now, and it's free to sign up for. Source: about 2 years ago

• Using SVN for revision control and PDM?

  I have been using grabCAD Workbantch (to share CAD files with my coworker). It has revision control and is free, but it comes with some quirks. GrabCAD Workbantch. Source: over 2 years ago

• Airbrush STL?

  You can save files from GrabCAD as STLs. I assume you're aware that most of the parts can't be printed; O-ring seals, springs, the needle, screws, nozzle, etc. If you still want to download it, download GrabCAD Workbench and install it; download the Solidworks files (SLDASM and SLDPRT) to your PC, open them in GrabCAD Workbench, and save them from the 3D Viewer file menu.

  Grabcad is a great source of models and you can convert most models using a free Workbench account. Source: over 2 years ago

• X_T file to blender

  Grab yourself a free account here, it supports x_t and you can save to obj or stl. Source: over 2 years ago
