Description
Open CascadeCAD Assistant is an offline 3D CAD viewer/converter with an intuitive interface. It is free for personal and commercial use. The solution was originally developed to showcase the Open CASCADE Technology on mobile platforms. It has been widely used by thousands of users on desktops and mobiles around the world as a fast and useful 3D viewer. CAD Assistant puts the power of open technologies in the hands of engineers who work with 3D data. CAD Assistant is based upon open source libraries (Open CASCADE Technology Qt, FreeType and FreeImage, etc.). Open formats are available for CAD and mesh data (STEP and IFC, IGES and BREP), glTF and JT, PLY STL, OBJ and 3DM. It supports a variety of file formats, including DXF and SAT (ACIS), XT(Parasolid). Additional functionality in CAD Assistant includes the ability to view mesh models and associated data. You can read files in PLY format to view mesh.
Description
Meshmixer is an exceptional program designed for manipulating triangle meshes in various ways. Whether your goal is to refine a 3D scan, prepare for 3D printing, or create a component that integrates seamlessly with another object, Meshmixer offers the tools you need. It serves as a versatile "Swiss Army Knife" for all things related to 3D meshes. The software features drag-and-drop mesh mixing capabilities, along with 3D sculpting and surface stamping options. It also boasts a powerful Convert-to-Solid function, ideal for 3D printing projects, and allows for the creation of intricate 3D patterns and lattices. Users can easily hollow objects while incorporating escape holes and generate branching support structures tailored for 3D printing needs. Additionally, Meshmixer optimizes print bed orientation and layout, making the printing process more efficient. Advanced selection features such as brushing, surface-lasso, and constraints further enhance usability, while remeshing and mesh simplification tools provide great flexibility. Mesh smoothing, free-form deformations, and various repair functions—like hole filling, bridging, and boundary zippering—ensure high-quality results. Plane cuts, mirroring, and Boolean operations facilitate more complex designs, while extrusions and offset surfaces enable further creativity. The program also supports interior tubes and channels, ensuring precise 3D positioning with the use of pivots. Automatic surface alignment and accurate 3D measurements are additional highlights, along with stability and thickness analysis to guarantee structural integrity in your designs. Meshmixer truly empowers users to bring their 3D visions to life with ease and precision.
