3DView

Powerful application for 3D printing enthusiasts and professionals

▶

3DView is a comprehensive Chrome extension designed for both 3D printing professionals and enthusiasts. It enables users to easily view, inspect quality, measure, and repair 3D models across a variety of supported formats including STL, OBJ, AMF, and more.

With built-in access to the Thingiverse library, users can download free 3D models and prepare them for printing by positioning, scaling, and detecting potential print issues like thin walls or intersections. Advanced features include previewing slice layers, calculating model and support volumes, and exporting files in multiple formats.

Collaboration is streamlined with the ability to share models online without limitations aside from Google Drive storage, and teams can work remotely through integrated sharing tools. Models can be opened from local disks, Google Drive™, or compatible websites, with enhanced instant download functionality via an additional Chrome extension.

3DView is an indispensable tool for anyone in the 3D printing space seeking a versatile, user-friendly solution for model management and preparation right within their browser.

User reviews

3DView is praised for its speed and ability to handle large STL files, as well as for integration with Drive and Thingiverse. However, many users report that it interferes with downloads, is hard to uninstall, and often fails to load files. Additionally, security concerns arise due to unexpected access permissions. Overall, while functional as a basic STL viewer, its intrusive behavior and technical issues lead to dissatisfaction among a significant number of users.

Pros

Fast and capable of handling large STL files smoothly, even on low power devices.
Integrates with Google Drive and Thingiverse, useful for quick access to files.
Provides basic 3D model viewing and manipulation features.
Has potential as a 3D printing focused utility with support for three.js JSON formats.

Cons

Interferes with downloads, sometimes making them difficult or impossible to complete.
Difficult to uninstall or remove from the system, causing frustration.
Fails to load many 3D file types or any files at all for some users.
Requests access to sensitive data, raising security concerns.

Recent reviews

Tested with a big STL file (~60MB). I didn't expected my low power Chromebook to be able to display the file without o single dropped frames. Is extremely fast! I'm very happy with this app as my preffered SRL viewer.
