What is the CATPart file extension? The .catpart file extension was created by CATIA V5, a 3D CAD manufacturing application. CATPart (or “CATPART”) is used to store part models and includes 3D geometrical and structural data.
These CATPart files can also be combined with additional parts and info in order to create a CATProduct assembly file.
Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about working with CATPart files extesion. We'll tell you:
CATPart files contain three-dimensional (3D) geometry and structure data of a part model. They are most commonly used to store design information such as machine parts, brackets and casings, and additional equipment pieces.
CATPart files can also store assembly instructions, which is why they are often used in conjunction with CATProduct files. They also store information about how individual parts fit and connect to other parts in an assembly.
CATPart file format can be opened with a number of different programs, including:
If you want to import or export CATPart files from a program that doesn't support them natively, you'll need to use a dedicated conversion program. Note that not all programs are the same, and there is a risk of translation errors.
It’s why Spatial’s 3D InterOp is one of the most reliable ways to read, view, import and export CATPart files. With 3D InterOp you can:

To open a CATPart file format, you will need a program that supports it natively. For instance, to open a CATPart file in SolidWorks, simply click “File” in the top right, then “Open”. Navigate to the folder containing the file you want to open and click “Open”. Other programs may have a slightly different method for opening files.
You can also use a dedicated program, such as 3D InterOp, to convert the file into a file format your program can open.
To open CATIA file formats, AutoCAD must import the file. In AutoCAD, click the “Insert” tab, find the “Import” panel, and then click “Import”. Navigate to your file in the file explorer, and click “Open”.
Depending on their size, files can take a few minutes to import. You can learn more about opening CATIA files in AutoCAD here.
A CATProduct file extension is a type of assembly file created by the CATIA V5 software application and is used to store product models.
CATProduct files typically contain data about the size, shape, and properties of a product or component. They can also include assembly instructions and information about how individual parts fit and connect to other parts.
