Free online STL viewer
View STL files online, locally by default.
Caddis provides a simple browser-based STL viewer for quick 3D model inspection. Open a model directly from your device, then use the same workspace you use for CAD drawing review.
No account required for local viewing. Files stay on your device unless you opt into Cloud.What is an STL file?
STL is a widely used mesh format for 3D printing and model exchange. It describes a surface as a collection of triangles rather than editable CAD features.
