About F3D
F3D is a fast and minimalist 3D viewer. It supports many file formats, from digital content to scientific datasets (including glTF, STL, STEP, PLY, OBJ, FBX, Alembic), can show animations and support thumbnails and many rendering and texturing options including real time physically based rendering and raytracing.
It is fully controllable from the command line and support configuration files. It can provide thumbnails, support interactive hotkeys, drag&drop and integration into file managers.
F3D also contains the libf3d, a simple library to render meshes, with C++ and Python Bindings, as well as experimental Java and Javascript bindings.

ADA 3D STL Viewer
The STL Viewer is FREE software for the visualization of STL or OBJ meshes created in packages such as 3D Studio Max, MAYA, and Z Brush, modeled in CAD systems, or generated from 3D digitalization of physical objects. With its simplified user interface, fast rendering, and ability to handle even big volumes of data the STL Viewer is an ideal tool for examining polygonal meshes. STL file format is a common format for 3D digitizing, rapid prototyping, animation, and 3D data archiving software. If you receive triangular mesh data containing CAD models, scan data, or 3D designs you can quickly see it in the viewer. You may also find it useful if you are a company or person providing such data to your customers and need a visualization tool to give away with it. Loading polygonal meshes in STL and OBJ file formats. Quickly resetting the object in default views, front, back, left, right, top and bottom.

STL Simple Viewer
STL Simple Viewer is a great app to quickly view 3D STL files. Supports both ASCII and Binary STL files. Load an STL from a ZIP file. Graphic operations for rotating, panning and zooming. View your model in orthogonal or perspective mode. Obtain info on the model: triangle count, bounding box, area, and volume. Set up rendering options, faces, edges, points, and transparency. Render using a clipping plane (useful for viewing interiors). App now remembers each file graphic setting. Added buttons for graphic operations.

MeshLab
The open source system for processing and editing 3D triangular meshes. It provides a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, inspecting, rendering, texturing and converting meshes. It offers features for processing raw data produced by 3D digitization tools/devices and for preparing models for 3D printing. In this version we introduce support to several file formats (.gltf, .glb, .nxs, .nxz, .e57) and a brand new plugin for exact mesh booleans. The 3D data alignment phase (also known as registration) is a fundamental step in the pipeline for processing 3D scanned data. MeshLab provides a powerful tool for moving the different meshes into a common reference system, able to manage large set of range-maps. MeshLab implements a fine tuned ICP one-to-one alignment step, followed by a global bundle adjustment error-distribution step. The alignment can be performed on meshes and point clouds coming from several sources, including active (both short- and long-range) scanners.

CAD Assistant
Open Cascade CAD Assistant is a powerful offline 3D CAD viewer and converter with simple and intuitive interface, free for both personal and commercial use. Originally developed as a testbed and showcase for the Open CASCADE Technology on mobile platforms, the solution has been appreciated as fast and handy 3D viewer by thousands of end-users on mobiles and desktops worldwide. CAD Assistant brings the power of open technologies to the hands of engineers working with 3D data. CAD Assistant is based on open source libraries (Open CASCADE Technology, Qt, FreeType, FreeImage, etc.) and employs open formats for CAD and mesh data (STEP, IFC, IGES, BREP, glTF, JT, PLY, STL, OBJ, 3DM). It also supports a set of other file formats like DXF, SAT (ACIS), XT (Parasolid). Viewing mesh models with associated data is an additional functionality included in CAD Assistant. Mesh can be read from files in PLY format.
