That depends on a bit on how messy the output from SolidWorks is and what you're planning on doing with the UVmapped models.
Easiest solution is either 3D-Coat's unwrapper or Zbrush with the UV plugin. However there are other standalone solutions, quite pricey one's..

I use Unfold3D together with meshes from MoI. Important for Unfold3D is, that all connected mesh edges are welded (unwelded edges are handled as cutted). I only know MoI that for example allow to create a mesh cube, all edges welded, but not smoothed. Unfold3D is very easy to use.
