What Is an SLDASM File?
SLDASM is the native SolidWorks assembly file format. An assembly brings together multiple individual parts (SLDPRT files) and sub-assemblies into a single design, defining how components fit together through mates and constraints. SLDASM files are central to mechanical product design, machine design, and manufacturing workflows.
Sharing an SLDASM file has always required either a SolidWorks license on the recipient's machine or exporting to a neutral format like STEP. An SLDASM viewer online through ShareCAD removes that step, the assembly is processed once via cloud translation and then renders in any browser.
Manufacturers, procurement teams, and external reviewers can inspect the full assembly geometry in their browser without any software. ShareCAD keeps the original file in your account and delivers a viewable link, no export required.
SLDASM Viewer Use Cases
Client assembly approvals
Share SolidWorks assemblies with clients for design sign-off. They navigate the 3D assembly in their browser without any CAD software.
Supplier and manufacturer review
Send SLDASM files to contract manufacturers or fabricators for quoting. They assess assembly geometry and tolerances without a SolidWorks seat.
Tender and procurement documents
Include a ShareCAD link to the assembly model in tender packs. Bidders view the full assembly during the quoting process.
Cross-team design collaboration
Share assemblies with electrical, industrial design, or non-CAD team members who need to understand the overall product without SolidWorks access.
