Xviewr: Browser-Based 3D Engineering Viewer

Drop. View. Share.

Load instantly. See clearly. Collaborate in real time.

Who is Xviewr for?

Xviewr is built for product managers, engineers, simulation leads, and operations teams who need to work with heavy 3D models without workflow friction. Whether you are reviewing CAD files, coordinating across departments, or demoing designs for clients, Xviewr gives you the speed, clarity, and control you have been missing.

A clearer path through every 3D review

Xviewr follows the real sequence of an engineering review: open the model, find the part, look inside, measure, then leave a note the rest of the team can trust. No CAD seat. No install. No export round-trip.

  1. 01

    Drop the file in any browser

    Open STEP, mesh, BIM, and point-cloud data without installing CAD software. Xviewr is built for large assemblies that usually stall a review before it starts.

  2. 02

    Find any part in the model tree

    Expand the assembly, search by name or manufacturer, and highlight the component in the viewer. Hide, show, and select from the tree so the 3D scene stays in sync.

  3. 03

    Isolate, ghost, or hide the noise

    Keep the critical geometry on screen. Isolate a part, ghost the rest, or hide selected components so reviews stay focused on the issue, not the clutter.

  4. 04

    Cut through to see inside

    Create cross-sections from any angle, inspect internal geometry, and export section contours when the conversation depends on what is hidden.

  5. 05

    Explode the assembly

    Push parts along an axis or radially to understand spacing, fastening, and how the product comes together without opening a CAD seat.

  6. 06

    Measure, then leave the proof on the model

    Take point-to-point distances, angles, radii, and bounding boxes in the browser. Add labels, comments, and documents so the next person sees the same decision.

Tools on the model, not in another file

The functions buyers ask about in demos - model tree, isolate, BOM, measurement, and transform workflows - without leaving the 3D view.

  • Web-based access

    No install. Open large CAD, BIM, mesh, and point-cloud files from any browser.

  • Model tree

    Navigate the full assembly hierarchy, search components, and keep the tree in sync with the 3D view.

  • Isolate, ghost, and hide

    Focus a review on the parts that matter without rebuilding a presentation file.

  • Cross-sectioning

    Cut through assemblies, inspect internals, and export section contours.

  • Exploded views

    Disassemble complex assemblies in real time along any axis or radially.

  • Precision measurement

    Point-to-point distance, angles, circle radius, and bounding box tools.

  • Part information and BOM

  • Labels, comments, and documents

    Mark the model, tag teammates, and keep related drawings next to the 3D view.

  • Materials and appearance

    Apply and preview materials, colors, and finishes for visual validation.

  • Transform and scene control

    Move, rotate, or scale parts, fit to view, change orientation, and toggle the grid.

Supported file formats

If the file arrives, Xviewr should open it.

File format support is the question we hear most. Xviewr is built as a format-agnostic viewer for CAD, BIM, mesh, and point-cloud data, so teams stop waiting on conversions.

CAD and BIM

  • STEP
  • IGES
  • IFC
  • RVT

Mesh and visualization

  • STL
  • FBX
  • OBJ
  • GLB
  • GLTF
  • PLY

Point clouds

Making 3D accessible across your organization

A lightweight, browser-based visualization platform for heavy 3D models. Built for teams that need access, not another CAD license.

  1. 01

    No CAD licences

    Cut license cost and give every downstream team access to the same 3D data.

  2. 02

    Universal compatibility

    Open STEP, IGES, IFC, STL, FBX, LAZ, LAS, RVT, GLTF, and more without conversion loops.

  3. 03

    Clear visualization

    Stay readable on complex assemblies, BIM files, meshes, and point clouds.

  4. 04

    Fast on ordinary hardware

    Load and inspect models in seconds, including on machines that cannot run CAD.

  5. 05

    Flexible deployment

    Run as a standalone viewer, embed it, or white-label it inside your product.

  6. 06

    Data stays yours

    Self-host and keep geometry, hierarchy, and metadata inside your network.

Unique benefits

The commercial reasons teams switch: access, cost, security, and speed.

  • No installation required

    Access instantly through any web browser.

  • Easy to use

    Works for non-engineers in sales, marketing, quality, and operations.

  • Unlimited users

    No per-seat licensing for every extra reviewer.

  • On-prem deployment

    Self-host, air-gap, or embed Xviewr in your own platform.

  • Spec insight

    Keep metadata, BOM, and documents next to the 3D view.

Use cases

Downstream teams need the real model, not a screenshot. These are the reviews Xviewr is built to unblock.

  • Engineers reviewing a 3D vehicle model with a headset and notes.

    Automotive OEMs and EV teams

    Run design reviews, packaging checks, and virtual inspections on native-scale assemblies without waiting for a CAD license or a flattened PDF.

    Equipment makers

    Share complex machines with suppliers and service teams. Isolate sub-assemblies, explode mechanisms, and keep comments on the model.

  • Engineer reviewing a 3D gear model on a workstation.

    Manufacturing and quality

    Give shop-floor, quality, and manufacturing engineering teams browser access for reverse engineering, inspections, and change reviews.
