3D Digital Asset Management Solution Expands Autodesk File Format Support

echo3D, the leading 3D digital asset management (DAM) platform, now supports even more Autodesk file formats, to help teams to store, secure, optimize, and share 3D models and scans across their organization and beyond. This update represents a major milestone for design, engineering, and manufacturing teams who rely on an extensive range of 3D modeling and CAD software.

The echo3D platform now supports an impressive array of 52 CAD and 3D file formats, covering major CAD and design software file formats. Key additions include formats from industry-standard tools like AutoCAD by Autodesk, SolidWorks, CATIA, Inventor, and SketchUp, among others.

Supported file formats now encompass a comprehensive list, including:

• AutoCAD formats: dwg, dwt, dxf, dwf, dwfx

• SolidWorks files: sldprt, sldasm, slddrw

• Inventor files: iam, ipt, idw

• CATIA formats: catpart, catproduct

• 3D modeling formats: 3dm, 3ds, skp, max

• Collaboration and interchange formats: ige, iges, igs, step, stp, ifc, dae

• Manufacturing and design files: a, asm, brd, cgr, exp, f2d, f3d, mpf, msr, par, pmlprj, pmlprjz, prt, psm, psmodel, rvm, sab, sat, sch, wire

• Collaboration formats: collaboration, session, xap, xpr

• Specialized design files: emode, neu, nwc, nwd

• Other CAD formats: catia, dgn, dlv3, iwm, jt, model, par, ste, stpz, vue

This expansion addresses a critical need for design and engineering teams that frequently work with multiple software platforms. By supporting such a wide range of file formats, echo3D’s 3D DAM platform eliminates compatibility barriers and streamlines 3D digital asset management across different design environments.

The enhanced file format support allows users to:

• Centralize 3D asset storage across multiple design software platforms

• Reduce time spent on 3D file conversion and compatibility issues

• Improve collaboration and 3D asset sharing between teams using different CAD tools

• Maintain a more organized and accessible 3D digital asset library

echo3D’s enterprise customers can access the expanded file format support through the 3D DAM platform, with no additional configuration required. New users can explore these capabilities through the platform’s free trial or by reaching out to echo3D’s sales team.
