SolidWorks is a powerful CAD software that allows users to create detailed 3D models. However, when it comes to sharing these models with other software or platforms, it becomes necessary to export them into a compatible format such as OBJ. In this article, we will guide you through the process of exporting OBJ from SolidWorks.

Step 1: Open your 3D model in SolidWorks. Make sure that the model is complete and ready for export.

Step 2: Go to 'File' and select 'Save As'. In the dialog box that appears, choose 'OBJ' as the file type.

Step 3: Specify the file name and location where you want to save the OBJ file. You can also adjust the export options such as units, tessellation, and texture options as per your requirements.

Step 4: Click 'Save' to export the OBJ file from SolidWorks. Once the export is complete, you can use the OBJ file with other 3D modeling software or platforms.

It is important to note that the OBJ file format does not support color or material properties, so you may need to reapply these settings in the software you import the OBJ file into. Additionally, make sure to check the scale and units of your model before exporting to ensure accuracy in other applications.

By following these simple steps, you can easily export OBJ files from SolidWorks and share your 3D models with other software and platforms. Whether you are collaborating with colleagues or working on a multi-platform project, knowing how to export OBJ from SolidWorks is a valuable skill for any 3D modeler.
