Features

Complete 3D inspection for CNC workshops

WebGL 3D Rendering

Smooth GPU-accelerated rendering in shaded + edges mode. Rotate with right mouse, zoom with scroll, pan with middle mouse. Presets: Top, Front, Iso.

Distance & Angle Measurement

Click two points to measure distance. Click three points to measure the angle at the middle point. Results shown in millimeters and degrees.

Model Dimensions & Volume

Automatic bounding box (L × W × H), surface area and volume calculation. Triangle count and format in the status bar.

CNC Cost Estimation

Select material, density, price/kg, machine rate and markup to get an instant cost breakdown: material + machining + total. Based on 3D geometry analysis.

Requires Management module or Enterprise plan

Geometry Warnings

Detects thin walls, deep holes and other manufacturing-challenging features. Helps identify issues before programming starts.

3D models are processed in the browser via JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your design data and IP never leave your device.

Formats

Supported 3D File Formats

STL

Binary and ASCII STL. Surface mesh (triangles). Standard for 3D printing and CNC fixture design. Rendered immediately in WebGL — no pre-processing.

STEP / STP

ISO 10303 standard (B-Rep parametric geometry). Compatible with SolidWorks, CATIA, Fusion 360, Creo, NX, FreeCAD exports. Processed via WebAssembly OCCT kernel in the browser.

Why STEP over STL? STL files contain only the triangle mesh — no dimensions, no features, no tolerances. STEP files preserve the full parametric B-Rep geometry with exact curves and surfaces. For CNC machining, STEP is the preferred exchange format because it carries precise dimensions and can be directly used by CAM software.
Access

How to use 3D Viewer

No account needed to view and measure — sign up only for saving models to a part; CNC cost estimation additionally requires the Management module.

1

Open the free viewer

Go to mkwork.ro/3d-viewer/tool — no registration, no download.

2

Load and inspect

Open an STL, STEP or 3MF file from your computer. Rotate, zoom, measure distances and angles, check dimensions and volume.

3

Optional: create an account

Unlocks saving models to a part and production tracking. CNC cost estimation additionally requires the Management module or Enterprise plan.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

3D Viewer supports STL (binary and ASCII) and STEP/STP files. STL renders immediately in WebGL. STEP/STP is processed via a WebAssembly version of the OpenCASCADE (OCCT) kernel in the browser.

No. The free tool at mkwork.ro/3d-viewer/tool works directly in your browser, no signup required — open an STL, STEP or 3MF file and rotate, measure and inspect it instantly. Creating a free account additionally unlocks saving models to a part; CNC cost estimation requires the Management module or Enterprise plan on top of that.

No. 3D Viewer opens STEP files in the browser using a WebAssembly version of the OpenCASCADE kernel. No SolidWorks, CATIA, Fusion 360 or any other CAD software installation is required.

No. All files are processed entirely in the browser via JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your design data and intellectual property never leave your device.

3D Viewer provides an indicative cost estimate based on 3D geometry analysis. In MKWork Manager, you can export this estimate to a formal quote linked to the part and the customer — automatically filling in material costs, machining time and margin.
