Open an STL, OBJ, 3MF or PLY file to see it in 3D, measure it, check if it fits your printer and estimate how much filament it needs. Files are read on your device and never uploaded.

STL is the most common file for 3D printing. It describes the outside of a model as thousands of small triangles. It holds the shape only, with no color, material or units.
Every slicer opens it, including PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer and Cura.
A quick look saves failed prints. Make sure the size is what you expect, the model sits flat on the plate and it fits your printer.
A high triangle count means fine detail, but also a heavier file that slices slower.
Size is the box around the model in millimeters. Volume is the space it fills if printed solid.
Printed parts are mostly hollow inside, so the filament estimate uses your infill and a 1.2 mm shell instead of the full volume.
No. Your file is opened by your browser on your own device and never sent to our server, so you can safely check models you haven't shared yet.
STL (binary and ASCII), OBJ, 3MF and PLY. 3MF project files from Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer and OrcaSlicer open too. PLY files from 3D scans need faces; a point cloud without a mesh can't be shown.
3D printing tools treat Z as up, while Blender and game engines often use Y. If your model looks rotated, change Up direction to Y-up. Many slicers will lay it flat for printing anyway.
STL files don't store units, so a model made in inches or centimeters can open at the wrong size. If the size looks wrong, change the units and the size, volume and printer check update right away.
The printer check compares your model with the build size of popular printers. Fits on its side means it fits if you rotate it before printing. If it's too big, it shows how far to scale it down, or you can split the model into parts.
Pick your material and infill and the viewer estimates the weight, assuming 1.2 mm walls. Supports and brims add more. To turn it into a full price with electricity and failed prints, use the 3D print cost calculator.
No. STL files hold only the shape, and the viewer shows every file in one color you can change. Painted 3MF and textured OBJ files open as plain geometry.
