What you can do

Instant preview

Drop a binary or ASCII STL on this page and orbit it immediately.

Size and volume

See the bounding box in the file units and the enclosed volume, useful before printing.

Triangle count

Check how heavy the mesh is before you send it to a slicer or upload it.

Measure and section

In the full viewer, measure distances and cut a section through the model.

Share a link

Upload once and send a link that opens in any browser.

Edit when needed

Open the same file in the 3D Model Creator to fix or change it.

  2. Orbit with the mouse or a finger, and read the size, triangles and volume.
  3. For measuring, sections and sharing, upload it to VIZON.

Supported formats

Format names link to a plain explanation of each file type.

Frequently asked questions

Is my STL uploaded when I preview it here?

No. The preview reads the file locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded unless you add it to VIZON yourself.

Does the viewer support ASCII and binary STL?

Yes, both.

How is the volume calculated?

From the closed triangle surface. It is accurate for watertight meshes and only approximate for meshes with holes.
