3DS Export for SolidWorks - 3D Studio 3DS file export add-in for SolidWorks
3DS
Export for SolidWorks is a 3D Studio (.3ds) 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 3DS file.
3DS
Export for SolidWorks tessellates the solid bodies in a SolidWorks
part or assembly document into individual triangular meshes. These
meshes are then exported to 3DS file as mesh objects. The level of
tessellation can be controlled by adjusting the resolution slider in the
3DS 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).
3DS
Export for SolidWorks is very easy to use. Once installed, it
automatically loads itself into SolidWorks and adds a new submenu called
"3DSExport" to the SolidWorks menu.
3DS
Export for SolidWorks comes with a detailed documentation as well as
a tutorial to get you started in the shortest possible time.

need any additional information please contact SYCODE.
The 3DS
File Format
The 3DS
file format is the native file format of 3D Studio. 3D Studio has now
been replaced by 3ds Max whose native file format has a .max file
extension. However, 3ds Max is still able to read and write .3ds files.
3ds Max is one of the most widely-used off the shelf 3D animation
programs. It has strong modeling capabilities, a flexible plug-in
architecture and a long heritage on the Microsoft Windows platform. It
is mostly used by video game developers, TV commercial studios and
architectural visualization studios. It is also used for movie effects
and movie pre-visualization.
