3DM Export for SolidWorks - Rhinoceros 3DM file export add-in for SolidWorks
3DM Export for SolidWorks is a Rhinoceros/OpenNURBS (.3dm) file
export add-in for SolidWorks®. This add-in gives SolidWorks the ability
to export 3D solid and surface data from a SolidWorks part and assembly
geometry to meshes in a 3DM file.
3DM Export for SolidWorks tessellates the solid bodies in a
SolidWorks part or assembly document into individual triangular meshes.
These meshes are then exported to 3DM file as mesh objects. The level of
tessellation can be controlled by adjusting the resolution slider in the
3DM Export for SolidWorks options dialog box. A lower resolution
will yield coarse meshes (lesser faces), whereas a higher resolution
will result in finer meshes (more faces).
3DM Export for SolidWorks is very easy to use as it adds new
commands to SolidWorks. It also adds a submenu to the SolidWorks menu
called "3DMExport".
3DM
Import for SolidWorks comes with detailed documentation as well as a
tutorial to get you started in
the shortest possible time.

The 3DM
File Format
The 3DM
(3D Model) file format is the native file format of Rhinoceros, the
NURBS modeling software from Robert McNeel & Associates. The OpenNURBS
Initiative was founded by Robert McNeel & Associates in January 2000,
with the sole purpose of providing CAD, CAM, CAE and computer graphics
software users reliable methods for transferring 3D geometry between
applications via the 3DM file format.
TerrainCAD, our terrain
generation, editing and modeling software, also uses the 3DM file format
as its native file format.
