How to extract just the visualization data from the solidworks files .sldprt and .sldasm in a standalone application?

Maybe like converting .sldprt to stl or step file outside solidworks. I dont want to create this using a plugin for solidworks..

I know that visualization data is public but the original geometry and brep data is stored in proprietary format of solidworks..

Varun,

SolidWorks provides source code of the project named display-lists that provide functionality to extract tesselation info from SW files without the SW software itself. Check it out here: https://forum.solidworks.com/docs/DOC-2323
