File format conversion API (".SLDPRT" to ".STEP")

[agahLPGE9]

Hi,

I am Agah from TRIDI. We are looking for a solution for format conversions of solid file formats. For example, ".F3D" or ".SLDPRT" to ".STEP" format. We tried Fusion 360 for this problem, but it was too heavy and needed to open the GUI to access the python API of Fusion 360. Instead of this, we are looking for an API which we can run from our Linux server. Is AUTODESK have a format conversion API for such cases ?

Would you recommend any solution for us ?

Best Regards,

You'll want to look at the Model Derivative API that is part of Forge. It's a cloud API and supports many different formats including those you mentioned.

Thx for the advice. I tried this and it is a very nice tool. However, we need to convert below formats to STEP file;

.x_t : Parasolid
.sat
.sldprt : SolidWorks CAD Part File
.step/stp : Standart for the Exchange of Product Data
.prt : Parametric Technology
.cad : catia, PTC Creo Parametric
.3dm
.F3D

Autodesk Forge could not convert sldprt, x_t files to STEP file.

I'm not an expert with the Forge Derivative service but my understanding is that it should support what you want to do. The Forge team uses Stack Overflow for support. You might find a similar question that already has an answer or you can ask a new question there. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask?tags=autodesk-forge
