The following formats can be converted directly without using a neutral format. **Supported Native 3D Formats** - Creo Elements/Direct Modeling - Creo Parametric - DXF/DWG (Polygon) - NX I-deas - IGES - Industry Foundation Classes - JT - NX - OBJ (Polygon) - Parasolid - PRC - Solid Edge - SOLIDWORKS - STEP - STL - U3D - WRL (VRML2) ## ![Lattice Technology ](https://www.lattice3d.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Lattice_Technology_February2026/Images/ultralightweight.png?width=975&height=553&name=ultralightweight.png) ## Digital Transformation “We think the first step for the manufacturing company is to make better use of the digital assets you already have, which is the lifeblood of your company -- product design data,” said Hughes. “We have been doing this for years.” ## Learn More **[Read the blog post.](https://blog.lattice3d.com/blog/converters-solidworks-catia-creo-nx-solidedge-jt-inventor)** **[Submit a Question. ](https://info.lattice3d.com/3d-snapshots?hsCtaTracking=0ef02622-178e-42ef-87ea-bc4474ed88f0%7Cc07db760-b9b1-41d7-a404-39127b512450)**   **About Lattice Technology**  Lattice Technology solutions drive [Digital Transformation](https://www.lattice3d.com/company/digital-transformation) in the manufacturing industry.  Our award-winning [*XVL *Technology](https://www.lattice3d.com/company/xvl-technology) enables major manufacturers to innovate their business processes and improve quality, reduce costs and shorten time-to-market.  Using Lattice Technology solutions, engineers and non-engineers alike can easily review product designs, simulate assembly processes, author work instructions, create documentation and more -- all directly from 3D engineering data.  Lattice Technology serves the global 500 and their suppliers.  Founded in 1997, Lattice Technology has [offices](https://www.lattice3d.com/contact/contact-information) in Japan and North America and works with [resellers](https://www.lattice3d.com/contact/authorized-resellers) in 91 countries.    **EDITORIAL CONTACT** Mark Guthrie  Smart2Market, Inc. on behalf of Lattice Technology, Inc.  720.330.3197  [pr@lattice3d.com](mailto:pr@lattice3d.com)  Company -
