The engineer will be using SolidWorks?

If so then I'm pretty sure that SolidWorks has a 3DM importer built into it, so sending just a regular 3DM file saved from MoI should work, it would probably be good to send a couple of test models.

But other formats would work too - probably STEP format would be the other main choice.

It may be best to ask the engineer what they would prefer - MoI v2 will write CAD data to 3DM, STEP, IGES, and SAT formats.

It may not be a bad idea to send more than one format to them, say both 3DM and STEP.
