STEP File Viewer 3D Modeling Software

Open a STEP file from any CAD program and look at it before you install anything.

Tessellation quality

A STEP file holds exact curves. A mesh cannot, so the curves are cut into flat triangles; this is how many.

Nothing is uploaded. Your file is read in your browser and never leaves your computer.

What this does

Somebody sent you a STEP file and you want to see what it is. Drop it here: it is read by OpenCascade, the CAD kernel FreeCAD is built on, compiled to run in your browser. The first file downloads a 7 MB reader once. The part is shown in the clay studio view with front, side, top and wireframe buttons, and it never leaves your computer.

How it works

  1. Choose your STEP fileDrag a STEP file onto the box above, or press it and pick one. It is read in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
  2. Look at itDrag to turn the model, scroll to zoom. The table beside it counts the triangles, measures the model and says whether it is watertight.
  3. Convert it if you need toEvery converter on this site is one link away at the bottom of this page, and each of them reads the file the same way.

About the formats

What a STEP file holds
Exact curved surfaces from CAD. To show it, the surfaces are cut into triangles at the tessellation quality you choose above; the file itself is not changed.

Questions

Is STEP File Viewer 3D Modeling Software free?

Yes. Every tool on StarForge is free, with no account, no sign-in and no limit on how many files you run through it. It runs on your own computer, so it costs us nothing to give away.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. Nothing is uploaded. Your file is read in your browser and never leaves your computer. There is no upload step, no server copy and nothing kept afterwards, which is also why it works with the network switched off once the page has loaded.

How large a file can I use?

Up to 250 MB. The limit is your browser's memory rather than an upload size, because the file never goes anywhere; a file larger than that is refused with a message rather than crashing the tab.
