STL Editor is a Stereolithography (.STL) file viewing, editing and printing application. STL Editor has been designed keeping Rapid Prototyping machines in mind. It offers many helpful STL file editing features.
Stl Files freeware for FREE downloads at WinSite. STL Viewer is free software that lets you view 3D STL files (. Viewstl is an open source way to view Stereo Lithography Files as shaded on-screen images. An STL format represents the surface geometry of a 3D object. It does not detail the color or texture or any other common attributes of the model. One must use CAD software to design an STL file. This is the most used 3D printer file format and has been accepted widely by professionals as well as hobbyists.
STL Editor is a Stereolithography (.STL) file viewing, editing and printing application. The .STL file format has become the Rapid Prototyping industry's standard data transmission format and is the format required to interact with stereolithography machines. How often have you received a STL file from someone only to find that it contains errors or it is just not the way you wished it was? How often have you sent back a STL file for modification or scrapped it totally because you found it unacceptable? If this happens often then STL Editor is exactly what you need.STL Editor has been designed keeping Rapid Prototyping machines in mind. It offers many helpful basic an advanced STL file editing features. Below are some of the features incorporated in this incredible editor:
Opens and works with multiple STL files simultaneously.
Print and Print Preview capabilities.
Undo operations.
Support for clipboard operations.
Basic editing commands such as move, align, rotate, scale, mirror, shear, flip normals, unify normals, etc.
Advanced editing commands such as hollow (internal, external or both), offset (internal or external), stitch, fill holes, smoothen, decimate, clip, etc.
Rotate, Zoom and Pan the drawing with the mouse.
Predefined Axis and Isometric views
Perspective and Orthographic projection.
Points, Wireframe and Surface model of the objects
Object transparency control.
Video Editor Freeware
Sound Editor Freeware
Global and per drawing configuration.Context-sensitive help system.
Support for plug-ins
STL Editor is very user friendly and well documented. We firmly believe that a user should spend more time using the software rather than learning it.
.. and best of all, its very, very affordable !!
Hello Image editing application.
What's the best STL viewer/editor?
I know that most CAD applications can open the STL format but they are not very efficient. I guess that there are more specialized ones able to work better and faster with these files.

I find this free viewer (3D-Tool Free Viewer) works well for checking .stl files: http://www.3d-tool.de/english/cad-viewer-download.htm
Make sure to click the second Download button from the top to download the free viewer.
Hi.
That one is the one I'm currently using because I also thing is not too bad.
thanks
Thanks for the suggestion..just got it and so far looks promising! I am able to view and get measurements of the parts in the STL file! So glad I don't have to import those files into a CAD software and figure out a way to measure the part that way!! Whew! Dodged a bullet thanks to this!
I programmed https://papas-best.com/stlviewer_en to view STL files because the other programs were not efficient. It's so fast you can browse a folder full of STLs in seconds.
There's a performance comparison with other programs on that page. No editing files, though.
I have been using a a trial of 3Matic.. This allows me to analyse, fix & repair, edit, add/remove features from stl, open multiple stls in assembly, and create features (like mounting points through extrusions and cuts)..
This is very useful software and you can edit parts just like in a standard CAD format, but with meshs and stls! So it allows you to skip the reverse engineering process and modify directly to stls. It is also expensive at around 3000 dollar bills!
Does anyone know of any similar software that is cheap/cheaper or free???
This would help massively with my work!!
Thanks for the tip about Meshlabs! Worked perfectly.
You could try 'netfabb Studio basic' - free tool for import of STL and you could also export in some other format. It could repair, analyse, stitch and more..but you have to GOOGLE it as the version for free is not any longer on their website.
Stl Editor Freeware Download
Another tool for just viewing is 'eDrawings 2014' from Solid Works. Works fine. You just have to register to download.
Maybe this could help as well:
It is supposed to be quite efficient.

First there is no need to have a 3d stl viewer if you have a 3D printer.
But like some of you already said 3DTOOL is for me the best tool to view STL files and other CAD files. And it does have some nice features also, like a RP build platform simulator to see if your design fits on a specific 3D printer. Measuring tools and annotation tools and cross section tools also.
What i like the most is the ability to send a 3d model to a client that does not have any 3d cad applications at all. Simply send a 3d tool format file to a client. And they simply click on it and open the file without the need to have a expensive CAD software. And here comes the glory it does uninstall automatically if you close the file.
you can also make some animated views like in solidworks eDrawings.
Or exploded views.. Simply great !
But if you really need to do some fysical adjustments like repairs..I think Meshlab is indeed the best choice.

http://www.glc-player.net/ is the best I've found (and I've tried all of the above). Free, lightweight, fast loading browser.
Here is a cloud based STL viewer (free and no installation is required. Just use you web-browser): http://www.cadflux.com/gallery
Note: It is currently in early stages of development.
ArtisGL 3D Publisher is the universal easy-to-use 3D tool, which allows to import 3D content (supports about 40 3D formats), view, design and edit it. ArtisGL 3D Publisher provides several options for publishing and distributing high quality 3D content in different ways and formats.
ArtisGL 3D publisher is available for free download from Windows 10 store
