What 3DVieweronline does

3DVieweronline is a UK-based software company that operates a browser-based 3D model collaboration platform, allowing users to view, publish and share 3D files without installing specialist CAD software or possessing 3D modelling skills. The product supports a broad set of neutral 3D formats — STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, DWG, DXF, 3MF and glTF — via a WebGL-rendered viewer that runs on desktop, tablet and mobile browsers with Google OAuth login and 256-bit encrypted data handling. Around the viewer, the company wraps collaboration features (markups, comments, attached files, threaded replies, email notifications), measurement and sectioning tools, customisable branding/toolbars, and embedding primitives (iframe plus native Magento and WordPress plugins).

Core offering

3DVieweronline operates a browser-based WebGL 3D viewer that lets users view, publish, and collaborate on 3D models without installing specialized CAD software. It supports a broad range of neutral 3D formats (STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, DWG, DXF, 3MF, glTF) and adds collaboration tools (markups, comments, attached files), measurement/sectioning, embeddable iframes, plus native WordPress and Magento plugins for ecommerce product visualization.

Product overview

3DVieweronline offers a single unified online collaboration platform — the 3D Viewer Online — centred on browser-based 3D model visualisation and review. The platform is a unified offering rather than a separate platform-plus-modules architecture: a single web product is delivered with format-specific sub-viewers (STEP Viewer with IGES support, STL Viewer, OBJ Viewer with texture support, DWG Viewer with DXF support, 3MF Viewer, and GLTF Viewer) plus integrated collaboration tools such as markups, comments, sharing, and 14-day trial of premium collaboration features. Around the core viewer, 3DVieweronline ships dedicated add-on integrations (WordPress Plugin, Magento Extension) for ecommerce and CMS embedding, a web APIs surface for developers to embed or extend the viewer, and productised use-case packages including a 3D Ecommerce Solution and a 3D Viewer Online for Teams offering for collaboration.

This is a co-marketing/security endorsement relationship rather than a financial investment.
• WordPress (Automattic)coreChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorOfficial 3DVieweronline plugin published on the WordPress plugin marketplace (wordpress.org/plugins/3dvieweronline-wp/). Provides an "Iframe block" for WordPress editors, a product-page tab for WooCommerce, and shortcode support — driving distribution of the viewer into the WordPress ecosystem.
• Magento (Adobe Commerce)coreChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorOfficial Magento extension published on the Magento Marketplace (marketplace.magento.com/vieweronline3d-product3dviewer.html).

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk Viewer: Autodesk's free browser-based viewer for over 50 2D and 3D file formats. It is a direct substitute for 3DVieweronline's core 'view CAD in the browser' use case, backed by the dominant CAD vendor's installed base.
• eDrawings (Dassault Systèmes): eDrawings is Dassault Systèmes' free viewer for SOLIDWORKS and other CAD files, used widely for design review and collaboration. It competes directly with 3DVieweronline for the 'no-installation CAD review' workflow.

Direct peers

• Sketchfab: Sketchfab is a leading platform for publishing, sharing and embedding 3D models online with a strong creator community and embeddable 3D viewer — the closest direct competitor to 3DVieweronline for embedded 3D visualisation on third-party websites.
• GrabCAD: GrabCAD is a large CAD model library and collaboration community for engineers; its Workbench collaboration product was discontinued in 2023, and 3DVieweronline explicitly positions itself as a Workbench alternative.
• ShareCAD: ShareCAD provides free online CAD viewing and sharing for formats like DWG, DXF, STEP and IGES, overlapping directly with 3DVieweronline's CAD viewer offering.
• Clara.io: Clara.io is an online 3D viewer and modelling tool supporting multiple formats and sharing, comparable to 3DVieweronline for browser-based 3D viewing and collaboration.

Emerging players

• Aspose 3D Viewer: Aspose offers online viewers and APIs for a wide range of file formats including 3D and CAD. It is a partial competitor for developer-facing, embeddable 3D viewing use cases.
• Vectary: Vectary is a browser-based 3D design and AR platform with embeddable viewers for e-commerce. It overlaps with 3DVieweronline on the embeddable 3D viewer use case for online product visualisation.
• Spline: Spline is a web-based 3D design tool with shareable, embeddable 3D scenes. It competes for the web-first 3D visualisation and embedding use case, particularly with e-commerce and AR.

Regional players

• CADviewer (Cadcorp): Cadcorp's CADviewer is a browser-based DWG/CAD viewer with map and spatial data focus. It overlaps with 3DVieweronline's CAD/DWG viewing capability, particularly in AEC and infrastructure.
