Is there a way to translate a Solidworks file without needing to open Solidworks?

I am in need of something like a console app that can quickly and easily translate a Solidworks CAD file into another format, mostly STL. Everything I've looked at has referred me to the fact that you can save a file as an STL from inside Solidworks, but that is not what I'm looking for. I need something that can translate a large number of files in a short amount of time, and opening each one individually to save it as an STL is not viable. Any suggestions?
