Hi Colin disclaimer: I’m not a SolidWorks user. But it looks like the latest version can export glTF 2 files?
You could then use Kuesa https://github.com/KDAB/kuesa to load the file in Qt 3D and use simple qml bindings to access the parts of the file. Assuming the exporter from SolidWorks correctly exports animations, these can be triggered also. If animations need to be created in Blender, then the gltfExporter will definitely export them properly, along with cameras, materials, etc. It’s usually much easier to create nice looking animations using interactive tools rather than hard coding them in QML. Kuesa makes is it really easy to import rich scenes authored in Blender, 3DS Max or other tools that support glTF 2.
