About PSM files

The .PSM file extension primarily represents a Solid Edge Sheet Metal Part file developed by Siemens Solid Edge. These files contain highly specific 3D models, material properties, and bend allowances used in industrial fabrication. The main disadvantage of the .PSM format is its proprietary lock-in. Files are often large, require an expensive CAD software subscription to open natively, and cannot be viewed in standard web browsers or operating systems. Sharing these files directly with manufacturing contractors using competing software like SolidWorks or AutoCAD frequently leads to broken geometry or import failures.

Less commonly, .PSM files function as graphic assets in the Kirikiri game engine, simulation files for Powersim, or license keys for FileBot.

To avoid costly manufacturing delays, you must convert .PSM files to standard industry formats. For cross-platform 3D editing and sharing, convert to STEP or IGES. For 3D printing and rapid prototyping, convert to STL. If you only need to share 2D layouts for laser cutting or archiving, convert to DXF or PDF. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it securely right in your browser.

The PSM 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 PSM converter.
