Feature-history translation between SolidWorks and Fusion

Send us a part from either system and we rebuild its feature tree in the other one, so the result is still editable. We then verify that rebuild against 5 dimension changes you name and 3 edits you never get to see, and the report ships with the file.

$149 per part Parts over 30 features quoted separately.

What we check on every part
Two-sided Hausdorff distance < 0.05 mm
Sampled surface points 10,000
Volume within 0.1 %
Centre of mass < 0.05 mm
Dimension changes you declare 5
Held-out edits 3
Turnaround from written acceptance 48 h

Choose a direction

We have not pre-picked one for you. Views and reservations are counted separately for each direction, because which one people actually want is what this page is here to find out.

Verification

Matching geometry proves nothing about editability. One dumb imported body matches perfectly, and a free STEP round trip already gives you that. So we check behaviour instead: we replay edits on both models and compare what comes out.

Base geometry Regenerates in the target and matches on all three metrics.
5 declared dimension changes You name the driving dimensions. We apply each one on its own, to your model and to the translation, and compare the two results.
3 held-out edits We choose these, and we open them only after the translation is frozen and its hash is recorded. A held-out result stands: no retries.
Match, all three Two-sided Hausdorff < 0.05 mm over 10,000 sampled surface points; volume within 0.1 %; centre of mass within 0.05 mm.
A failing edit Fails the whole part. We do not deliver a failed part, and we do not bill for one.
The report Every edit, both models, the three numbers per edit, pass or fail. It ships with the file.

Read this before you reserve

This is a pilot that is not operating yet. No charge now or on reservation. Delivery depends on us accepting your file and on licensing clearance we don't have today. No start date is promised. The 48-hour clock starts only when we accept your file in writing. Your source tree shape is not preserved; the model is rebuilt to pass the verification report.

Scope of the pilot

Assemblies

One part per job. We do not take assemblies in the pilot.

Drawings

We translate the part, not the drawing. Views, dimensions and annotations stay put.

Configurations

You point at one configuration and that is the one we build. The others do not come across.

Tree shape

We rebuild the model to pass verification. It will not mirror the tree you sent.

Over 30 features

$149 covers parts up to 30 features. Above that we quote you separately.

Licensing clearance

We do not have it today. It gates delivery, which is why we promise no date.

How a job runs

01

You send the part and name the 5 driving dimensions you would change.

02

We accept or decline in writing. Our written acceptance is what starts the 48-hour clock.

03

We rebuild the tree in the target system and run your 5 changes. Then we freeze the translation, record its hash, and open the 3 held-out edits.

04

You get the target file and the verification report. A failing edit fails the part.

Alternatives

These four all work today, and three of them cost less than we do. What none of them does is take a feature history in and hand one back.

STEP export, reimport Free. You get geometry and no history, so you rebuild anything you want to edit.
FeatureWorks, or SolidWorks 2026 "Convert to Geometry" STEP into SolidWorks features. Prismatic and revolved shapes only.
Backflip AI $1.52–$10 per job, as a Fusion add-in. It takes a mesh in and gives a parametric tree out, so there is nowhere to put a history.
CADSharp $250/hr with a $1,000 minimum. Designers who know the target system redo the model by hand. Their own page counts 300k+ neutral geometry migrations against just over 1K feature-based ones since 2022.
This page $149 per part, history in and out, verified by replayed edits. Not operating yet.

Reserve a slot

You put a card on file and we charge it nothing. Within a day you get a reply that repeats the disclosure and asks one question: do you still want the slot on those terms?

Direction

Optional, and we promise no date either way.

We use it to repeat the disclosure and ask that one question.
