Mesh Viewer is now on Mac App Store!

Quick news - the first of the 3d file viewers is now live on the App Store. Pretty exciting… so far it’s just Mesh viewer - simple replacement for stl, obj and ply files - all others are in review… and will hopefully get there soon.

You can check it out [here](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/better-mesh-viewer-stl-obj-ply/id6790114764 ) or download the files directly from here.

Enjoy (and all feedback welcomed!)

3d file viewers for macOS

I've added support for more file formats as well as a single app that combines all formats, and these are now available for download.

These are Finder extensions and native macOS apps that enable Quick Look for the following file types:

  • 3MF Viewer (where it all started)
  • G-Code Viewer
  • General mesh viewer (improved viewer for STL/OBJ/PLY files)
  • GLB / gLTF viewer

Features

  • Native integration with macOS Finder, supports Quick Look and open in viewer
  • Rotate and orbit the model
  • Zoom in and out using pinch gestures
  • Optimised for large files, all load quickly
  • Should respect any colour info specified in the file
  • Toggle shader on / off to adjust the lighting based on the type of model
  • 100% on-device — no accounts, no tracking, never connects to the internet
