With the SolidView® family of products, design communication has never been easier. SolidView/Lite is a FREE 3D viewer designed to facilitate the exchange of 3D data in SolidView's Solid File Exchange (SFX) format. With the SolidView family of products, anyone with a Windows PC can view, measure, and mark up CAD data. Instead of working with confusing paper drawings, you can now have a real-time shaded view of your CAD designs, without the need for expensive CAD hardware or software, and without extensive training.

SolidView/Lite reads STL, SolidWorks, VRML, and OBJ. SolidView/Lite also reads the SFX file format, and SolidView provides the ability to add notes and markups to an existing SFX file, enabling bi-directional 3D communication. With one mouse click, you can instantly calculate the volume, surface area, mass, and center of gravity of complex designs and assemblies. Note and text features let you add detailed design information, and an electronic grease pencil lets you add red-line markups.
