About CATPART files

A .CATPart file is a proprietary 3D part design created by CATIA V5, the industry-standard software for high-end aerospace and automotive engineering by Dassault Systèmes. These files contain precise B-rep geometry, topological data, and metadata for a single mechanical component.

While .CATPart files offer immense precision, they present significant interoperability challenges. They utilize a closed, binary format that typically requires a costly CATIA license to open or edit - often costing thousands of dollars per seat. Furthermore, version incompatibility is a frequent problem; a file saved in a newer release of CATIA V5 often cannot be opened in older versions ('upward compatibility' only). Sharing these files with clients or vendors using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or Blender is difficult without conversion. These are robust standards that maintain geometric precision for import into almost any CAD suite.

Convert.Guru analyzes your CATPART file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted CATPRODUCT, CATDRAWING, CAT, ZIP, STP, 3DXML, STEP, STL, SLDPRT, CATPART_TMP, PRT, MODEL and RAR files.


FAQ

If you want to convert CATPART file to STP, STL, PDF, DXF, DWG, SLDPRT, OBJ, IGES, DGN, RVT, RFA or SKP, you can use CATIA or similar software from the "3D Mechanical Part Design" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

To convert SLDASM, DGN, PRT, IAM, X_B, CATPRODUCT, SLDPRT, RVT, ASM, DWG, DXF or X_T files to CATPART, try CATIA or another comparable tool in the "3D Mechanical Part Design" category.



The CATPART Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our CATPART converter.
