What Is an SLDPRT File?
SLDPRT is the native SolidWorks part file format. It contains the full parametric geometry of a single 3D part, features, sketches, dimensions, and material properties, as created in SolidWorks. SLDPRT files are used throughout mechanical product design and manufacturing workflows.
Opening an SLDPRT file normally requires SolidWorks or the limited-function eDrawings viewer. A SLDPRT viewer online through ShareCAD removes that barrier: the part geometry is processed via an Autodesk conversion and then renders in any browser for anyone with a link.
Engineers who need to share parts with clients, procurement teams, or manufacturing partners can upload the native SLDPRT file and send a ShareCAD link, no export to STEP or IGES required. The recipient views the part geometry directly in their browser.
SLDPRT Viewer Use Cases
Client design approvals
Share individual SolidWorks parts with clients for sign-off. They inspect the 3D geometry in their browser without any CAD software.
Machining and manufacturing quotes
Send SLDPRT files to machine shops or contract manufacturers for quoting. They review part geometry and features without a SolidWorks seat.
Supplier component review
Procurement teams and component suppliers can view part designs via a browser link during sourcing and supply chain discussions.
Cross-team design reviews
Share individual parts with mechanical, electrical, or industrial design team members who don't have SolidWorks installed.
