Enable Seamless Data Exchange with SOLIDWORKS to STEP Conversion via PDMPublisher
Facilitate seamless data exchange with PDMPublisher’s automated SOLIDWORKS to STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data) conversion. Directly from your SOLIDWORKS PDM, effortlessly generate neutral and widely compatible STEP files for collaboration with external partners and downstream applications like CAM and CAE. Eliminate manual export complexities, ensure accurate geometric transfer, and streamline your interoperability workflows.
Why PDMPublisher to Convert to STEP?
- Automate the batch conversion of SOLIDWORKS parts and assemblies to STEP format for efficient data sharing.
- Support various STEP standards (e.g., AP203, AP214) to ensure compatibility with different CAD/CAM/CAE systems.
- Maintain the geometric integrity and product structure during the STEP conversion process.
- Control the versioning of exported STEP files within SOLIDWORKS PDM for reliable data management.
- Simplify collaboration with external partners who use different CAD software.
Key Features for STEP Conversion with PDMPublisher:
- Automated STEP Generation: Automatically create STEP files from SOLIDWORKS data within PDM workflows.
- Multi-Standard Support: Choose from various STEP standards (AP203, AP214, etc.) for optimal compatibility.
- Batch Conversion Capabilities: Convert multiple SOLIDWORKS parts and assemblies to STEP simultaneously.
- PDM Integration: Seamlessly integrate STEP creation into your SOLIDWORKS PDM environment.
- Configuration-Specific STEP: Generate STEP files for specific configurations of your SOLIDWORKS models.

Manual Hassle
Manually exporting SOLIDWORKS models to STEP often involves navigating various export options, selecting the appropriate STEP standard, and ensuring that all necessary geometric and product data is accurately transferred. Managing configurations and revisions for STEP files can also be a time-consuming and potentially error-prone process.
Automated Ease
PDMPublisher simplifies the SOLIDWORKS to STEP conversion by automating the process directly within your PDM workflows. You can define predefined export settings for different STEP standards and applications, batch convert models, and ensure consistent and accurate generation of neutral CAD files for seamless data exchange with your partners and downstream processes.
