The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.
About STL, STEP and IGES Viewer without Upload
The free STL, STEP and IGES viewer by Reents3D (reents3d.de): view, measure and
document CAD files in your browser. No upload, no account, no sign-up.
Drag a CAD file into the window. You immediately see dimensions, volume,
surface area and triangle count, rotate the model freely, place a section plane
and measure point to point. Finally you export a PDF documentation with
all-round views per axis.
THE FILE STAYS ON YOUR COMPUTER
There is no upload. The file is read in the browser and stored nowhere. You do
not have to take our word for it: the extension requests no permission at all,
and its content security policy allows no outbound connection. Verifiable with
an open network tab in ten seconds.
That makes it suitable for parts under NDA and for prototypes that must not go
to someone else's server.
WHAT YOU SEE
Dimensions in millimetres, volume, surface area, triangles, vertices, centre of mass
Weight estimate for 41 materials, by infill level
Wall thickness on click, with a warning below 1.5 mm
Overhangs highlighted before a print goes wrong
Size comparison against a person, a euro pallet, an A4 sheet and a mug
Check against real build volumes up to 1,800 x 2,400 x 1,800 mm
Annotations directly on the model, for talking to customers and colleagues
Version comparison of two revisions, aligned on the CAD origin
PDF documentation and image export
WHICH FORMATS
STL binary and ASCII, STEP (.step, .stp) and IGES (.iges, .igs). STEP and IGES
are tessellated in the browser, coarse, medium or fine. No unit choice is
needed there: it is stored in the file.
WHO IT IS FOR
Design engineers, buyers, model and exhibition builders, 3D printing users and
anyone who wants to check a CAD file without opening a CAD program.
Works offline. Once installed, the extension needs no network.
