Part of the Autodesk App Store library, this importer earns its place by carrying the Solid Edge model into 3ds Max while keeping its colors intact. The trial lets you evaluate the workflow before committing to a license.
ProtoTech's Solid Edge Importer for 3ds Max imports Solid Edge models into the 3ds Max platform. The imported model retains all colors, keeping visualization accurate. It works with 3ds Max 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, and runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11.
This is the trial edition. You can use it for a 7-day trial period or up to 15 trials, with no activation key required during that window; after that, the paid version needs to be activated. The plugin ships with a custom installer rather than the standard App Store installer. It's listed as free in this catalog, so check the developer's page for current licensing options, including floating and automation licenses.
An optional automation license lets you call a function from your own plugin on the same host application and export a file without user intervention, so you can set standard input parameters for export and skip the GUI. Updates for the first year are included, and the license is perpetual, though a renewal is needed for updates or support beyond the first year.
ProtoTech's Solid Edge Importer for 3ds Max®-Trial is best for bringing Solid Edge models into 3ds Max with their colors preserved.
ProtoTech's Solid Edge Importer for 3ds Max®-Trial is completely free to download and use.
ProtoTech's Solid Edge Importer is compatible with 3ds Max 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, with the current release adding 2026 support. Beyond the host application, it runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 only. If you're on a supported 3ds Max version and one of those Windows releases, the importer will bring your Solid Edge model into the 3ds Max platform. Check the developer's page for the full compatibility details before installing.
ProtoTech's Solid Edge Importer runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 only, so you'll need a machine on one of those two versions. The plugin uses a custom installer rather than the standard App Store installer, which means you'll follow the developer's own installation steps rather than the usual App Store flow. For questions about installation or activation, the developer provides a support contact. Check the developer's page for the latest setup instructions before you begin.
ProtoTech's Solid Edge Importer is offered here as a trial, which runs for a 7-day period or up to 15 trials. No activation key is required during that window, so you can start testing right away. After the trial period ends, you'll need to activate the paid version to keep using the importer, and an activation key is delivered by email once the paid version is purchased. For licensing questions, reach out through the developer's support contact.
ProtoTech's Solid Edge Importer is listed as free in this catalog, and this entry is the trial edition. The trial itself needs no activation key and runs for 7 days or 15 uses, after which the paid version must be activated. The developer also offers floating and automation licenses. For current pricing and licensing terms, check the developer's page, since those details are set by ProtoTech rather than fixed here.
ProtoTech's Solid Edge Importer offers an optional automation license for standalone PCs. With it, you can call a function from your own plugin on the same host application and export a file without user intervention. This lets you provide standard input parameters for export and skip the GUI. The automation license is separate from the standard paid version. For details on obtaining it, contact the developer through their support address or visit the developer's page.
