Look, measure — then change it

Most online STL viewers only let you spin the model. OwlCAD inspects it and edits it in the same place.

View instantly in 3D

Drag an STL into the browser and it loads on the build plate — orbit, zoom, fit to view, and toggle X-ray to see through the model. Nothing to install.

Measure and inspect

Measure between any two points, and read the model’s bounding size, volume, and triangle count — the numbers you need before you print.

Then actually edit it

A plain viewer stops at looking. OwlCAD keeps going: scale to exact dimensions, combine with other shapes, repair non-watertight geometry, and re-export.

Opens more than STL

STL, 3MF, OBJ, GLB, and STEP all open here, with units detected on import so every model loads at the right size.

View it, measure it, and edit it — all in the browser, no download.

Frequently asked questions

Is the OwlCAD STL viewer free?

Yes. Drag an STL into the browser and view it in 3D for free — no install, no sign-up. Orbit, zoom, fit to view, and switch on X-ray to see inside the model.

Can I view an STL file online without downloading software?

Yes — OwlCAD runs entirely in your browser. Drop in a .stl and inspect it immediately: rotate it, measure between any two points, and read its bounding size, volume, and triangle count.

Can I do more than just look at it?

Yes — unlike a plain viewer, OwlCAD is a full editor. Once your STL is open you can scale it to exact dimensions, combine it with other shapes, repair non-watertight geometry, and export it again.

What file types can it open?

STL, 3MF, OBJ, GLB, and STEP — units are detected on import, so a model always loads at the right size.
