Local-first by design
3D Viewer Pro parses and renders models on your Windows device. It is not a cloud viewer, and the app does not upload your 3D files to GlobalCore Labs servers.
Native Windows 3D viewer
See inside your 3D models.
3D Viewer Pro is a fast, local-first viewer for STL, GLB, GLTF, OBJ, FBX, PLY and 3MF on Windows 10 and 11. Inspect geometry, estimate print material, play skeletal animation, and use Pro section planes to look inside a model.

Format coverage
One viewer for common 3D workflows.
From printable STL files to animated GLB and FBX assets, open a model by drag-and-drop or Windows file association.

Visible materials, textures, units, animation and rig data depend on what each file contains. 3D Viewer Pro is not a CAD editor and does not replace a slicer.
Core capabilities
More than “it opens.”
Geometry, appearance, print preparation and animation live in one desktop workspace.
Geometry at a glance
See vertices, triangles, meshes, materials, textures, parse time, bounding box, surface area and enclosed volume.
Area · VolumeUses file units
Four ways to see
Switch between PBR, Clay, Wireframe and Normals to inspect material, structure and surface direction.
Print preparation
Choose PLA, ABS or PETG density and filament cost to estimate material use and cost from model volume.
FBX + GLB animation
Play, pause, step frames, change speed and overlay the skeleton to inspect character motion.
Switch models in place
3D Viewer Pro lists other files in the current folder so you can compare the next revision with the previous and next shortcuts.
Scene controls for inspection
Fit View, Reset Transform, unit selection and perspective or orthographic cameras help you return to a repeatable view.
Product interface

3D Viewer Pro · PRO FEATURES
Open the shell. Inspect what is inside.
Pro adds X/Y/Z section views, center-on-origin, drop-to-build-plate, and transparent PNG sequence plus Sprite Atlas + JSON export.
- X/Y/Z section planes for visual inspection of internal cavities, supports and wall-thickness distribution.
- Print alignment to center on origin or place a model on the build plate.
- Transparent frame export as PNG sequences, Sprite Atlas and JSON coordinates.
- Restore purchase within the Microsoft Store entitlement for Pro.
Note: section planes are a visual inspection tool, not an automatic wall-thickness caliper. Use CAD or metrology tools when you need certified dimensions.
Available plans and local pricing are shown by the Microsoft Store.
Three steps
Open, inspect, export.
No project setup and no CAD import step.
Drop or double-click
Drag an STL, GLB, OBJ, FBX, PLY or 3MF file into the window, or use a Windows file association.
Inspect the model
Switch PBR, Clay, Wireframe or Normals; review area, volume, bounding box and print estimates.
Export or hand off
Check animation playback, then use Pro section views, print alignment and transparent frame export when needed.
Common questions
Direct answers about 3D Viewer Pro.
Is 3D Viewer Pro free?
The core viewer, shading modes, geometry data, print estimates and animation playback are free to use. Pro is an optional Microsoft Store add-on; current plans and local pricing are shown in the Store.
Does 3D Viewer Pro upload my 3D models?
No. Model files are parsed and rendered locally on the Windows device. The app keeps local diagnostic and conversion logs on the device and does not send them to GlobalCore Labs.
Which 3D file formats does 3D Viewer Pro support?
3D Viewer Pro opens STL, GLB, GLTF, OBJ, FBX, PLY and 3MF files. Visible materials, textures, units, animation and rig data depend on what the file contains.
Can 3D Viewer Pro check a 3D model before printing?
Yes. The free viewer shows bounding box, surface area, enclosed volume, boundary edges and PLA, ABS or PETG material estimates. Pro adds X/Y/Z section views for visual inspection of internal cavities and wall-thickness distribution.
Is 3D Viewer Pro a slicer?
No. 3D Viewer Pro is a viewer and visual inspector; it does not generate G-code. Use your preferred slicer after checking the model.
Does it run on Windows 11 and ARM64?
Yes. 3D Viewer Pro targets Windows 10 and Windows 11 and ships x64 and ARM64 builds.
