3D Model Viewer

The tool supports OBJ, STL, and PLY file formats. These are common 3D model formats used in 3D printing, CAD software, and 3D graphics applications. OBJ files contain geometry and texture data, STL files are primarily used for 3D printing, and PLY files store polygon mesh data.

The tool extracts comprehensive model statistics including vertex count, face count, file format, file size, and bounding box dimensions (width, height, depth). This information helps you understand the complexity and scale of your 3D models.

This tool provides basic wireframe visualization and detailed model information. For full 3D rendering with textures, materials, and advanced lighting, specialized 3D software like Blender or online viewers with WebGL support are recommended.

The tool can handle various file sizes, though very large 3D models may take longer to process depending on your browser and device performance. For optimal performance, consider using models with reasonable polygon counts. Complex models with millions of vertices may cause slower processing.

Yes, the tool is useful for checking basic properties of STL files before 3D printing, such as verifying the model has the expected number of faces and checking dimensions. However, for detailed print preparation like support generation, you should use dedicated 3D printing software.

Dimensions are calculated from the bounding box of the model vertices and represent the maximum extents in each axis (X, Y, Z). These measurements are accurate for the geometric data in the file but may not reflect real-world scale unless the model was created with specific units.

Vertices are the 3D points that define the shape of the model, while faces are the polygons (usually triangles) that connect these vertices to form surfaces. Higher vertex and face counts generally indicate more detailed models.

This tool focuses on static 3D geometry and does not support animations, rigging, or skeletal data. It works with static mesh data from OBJ, STL, and PLY files which typically contain only geometric information.

All 3D model processing happens locally in your browser. Your files are not uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security of your 3D model data. The tool reads and analyzes files entirely client-side.

Ensure your file is in a supported format (OBJ, STL, PLY) and under the size limit. Some files may have corrupted data or non-standard formatting. Try opening the file in other 3D software first to verify its integrity, or try exporting it again from your 3D modeling software.

The current wireframe view is a basic representation for inspection purposes. For exporting visualizations or creating detailed wireframe images, use dedicated 3D software that offers more advanced rendering and export options.

Vertex count indicates model detail (more vertices = more detail), face count shows rendering complexity, and dimensions help understand scale. These metrics are useful for optimizing models for specific applications like games, web, or 3D printing.

The tool works in all modern web browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. It uses standard web technologies like HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript file APIs. For best performance, use the latest version of your preferred browser with hardware acceleration enabled.
