In their own words
3D-Tool
3D-Tool is a Windows CAD viewer and converter for opening, inspecting, measuring, analyzing and converting 3D models and 2D drawings without a separate CAD system. It reads more than 30 3D formats and supports DXF, DWG and HPGL drawings, though available formats depend on license edition. Measurement tools cover distances, angles, radii, wall thicknesses and clearances, and calculate centers of mass, surface areas, contour lengths and minimum bounding boxes. Analysis includes tooling, wall thickness, collisions and model comparison, with results shown as heatmaps. Models can be exported as EXE files or 3D-PDF; Premium adds 3D-HTML conversion and native interfaces for listed CAD systems. The Free Viewer opens DDD, STL and 3MF files, has no time limit or registration requirement, and permits commercial use. Paid single-user licenses are one-time purchases: Basic is € 200, Advanced € 400 and Premium € 800, plus VAT. A 14-day trial unlocks all functions and import formats.
