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

I often encountered issues where the STL files I downloaded required minor modifications to be compatible with my 3D printer. Usually, this involved simply centering the model on the build platform or resizing it to fit. A few months ago, I developed OpenGL code to visualize both STL and GCode files for a different extensive project, which proved useful. Additionally, I faced challenges when trying to open ASCII-encoded STL files in my 3D/CAD application, which only supports binary STL files, prompting the need for a straightforward conversion method. To address these challenges, I created Pleasant3D, a compact utility designed to resolve these issues while incorporating my earlier visualization code for STL and GCode files. This latest version enhances the error checking within the Quicklook plugins and ensures that if Quicklook generation fails, the standard document icon is shown, preventing quicklookd from crashing during error occurrences. With these improvements, users can now expect a smoother and more reliable experience when handling their 3D printing files.
