OpenSBP is a file format originally developed by ShobBot Tools. It is now maintained by the OpenSBP Group, a consortium of CNC manufacturers. The OpenSBP file format is used to control CNC machines and digital fabrication tools. It offers a readable standard syntax that is easily implemented by controllers.
To open an SBP file, Windows needs to know what program to use. You can let Windows find a program automatically online. Or you can manually select one installed on your computer. To do this, right-click the SBP file. Click “Open With” and choose the program. Check “Always use this program” to set the default.
Problems opening SBP files usually mean compatible software is not installed. Download programs like PartWorks or VisEdit that support the format.
The OpenSBP Group develops the standard. They offer it freely for any company to use. All users can participate in their community.
Here are some reasons an SBP file may not open:
– The file is damaged.
– The file association in the registry is incorrect.
– The SBP extension was accidentally removed.
– Software that supports SBP is not fully installed.
To fix issues, update the software you normally use for SBP files. Old versions may not support the format.
