Working with these files

  • SolidWorks (.SLDPRT, .SLDASM, .SLDDRW) — open directly in SolidWorks. Top-level assemblies are the .SLDASM files.
  • STEP (.STEP/.step) — neutral format importable into any major CAD package (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, OnShape, FreeCAD, etc.).
  • Clone the repository to get all files at once:
git clone https://github.com/SPROUT-MITLL/sprout.git
