No. Marathon OS CAD Viewer is browser-based—no downloads required.
Which file formats are supported?
STEP/STP, IGES/IGS, STL, OBJ, PLY, OFF, BREP, 3DM.
Is this CAD viewer free?
Yes—this page is presented as a Free Online CAD Viewer, with usage constraints like an upload size limit (up to 300 MB per file).
What is the max file size?
Up to 300 MB per upload.
Will my file stay private?
Files stay private, are encrypted, and are automatically deleted after 7 days; see the Privacy Policy for details.
Why does my model look broken (holes/missing faces)?
Some CAD exchange formats (especially surface-based files like IGES) may import with gaps. Try converting to STEP or re-exporting with healed/stitched surfaces.
Can I convert my file to another format?
Yes—use the 3D File Converter at /tools/3d-cad-file-converter.
Does it work on Mac / Windows?
