Jointly compare
Honest side-by-side comparisons — automated vs manual, Jointly vs specific tools — so you can pick the right approach for your case.
-
Jointly vs sw2urdf
An honest comparison of the sw2urdf SolidWorks add-in and Jointly's automated conversion — setup, accuracy, output formats and when each makes sense.
-
Automated vs manual CAD-to-URDF conversion
When hand-authoring a URDF from CAD still makes sense, and when an automated converter pays for itself — a practical breakdown by assembly size, iteration frequency and available geometry.
Skip the manual work
Jointly does everything on this page automatically: drop in your CAD (STEP, mesh, SolidWorks or Onshape), and it infers joints, axes, inertia and collision, then exports a simulation-ready URDF, SDF, MJCF or USD. The first conversions are free.
