Question Making SolidWorks models to meshs

[HAL9001]

Is that possible? And if yes, how?

Can the SolidWorks software export a model to .3ds format? If it can, then the answer to your question is probably "Yes."

You would build your model with SolidWorks, export the model to a .3ds file, then convert the .3ds to an Orber mesh using one of the available freeware converters -- MeshMaker (by Radu) or 3ds2msh (by Vinka).

It can export:

Technically yes.

I would use stl, import it into Blender and export it as .msh

However stl doesn't support groups.

There is a .3ds exporter for Solidworks but it is not free and its quite buggy as far as my attempted use it is concerned,

here is a link if you want to look at the demo version.
