Earns its place in the Autodesk App Store library as a focused Solid Edge-to-3ds Max converter, with an automation license option for pipelines that export files without user intervention. It sits at rank 61 among Autodesk apps.
ProtoTech's Solid Edge Importer for 3ds Max imports Solid Edge models into the 3ds Max platform, keeping all colors from the original model for accurate visualization. It works with 3ds Max 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, and runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 only.
The trial version activates automatically on first install and includes the full set of features, with 15 exports over a 7-day period and no activation key required. After the trial, the paid version is needed to continue. The license is perpetual: updates during the first year are free, while updates or support beyond that require a renewal.
An automation license adds the ability to call a function from your own plugin on the same host application and export files without user intervention, letting you supply standard input parameters and avoid the GUI. The plugin uses a custom installer rather than the standard App Store installer.
ProtoTech's Solid Edge Importer for 3ds Max® is best for 3ds Max users who need to bring Solid Edge models into 3ds Max with their colors intact.
ProtoTech's Solid Edge Importer for 3ds Max® is completely free to download and use.

The trial provides the full set of features, with 15 exports over a 7-day period and no activation key required.

For any questions about licensing or activation, ProtoTech directs users to contact support@prototechsolutions.com or to view the licensing details on the developer's page.
