OmniView 3D

OmniView 3D is a browser-based service for industrial teams to upload CAD models and share them by link. Recipients can view shared models in a browser on a phone, tablet, or desktop without an account or software installation. It supports formats including STEP, IGES, GLB, glTF, FBX, OBJ, STL, and others. Viewing tools include exploded assemblies, automatic dimensions, annotations, hologram mode, and interactive catalogs. Models can be shared by URL or embedded in services such as Shopify, WordPress, and Notion. Listed integrations also include ecommerce platforms and sales tools such as HubSpot and Salesforce. The free Starter plan allows three models and 100 MB, with shared models deleted after three days. Pro costs $59 a month, excluding tax; Business costs $179 a month, excluding tax. Both offer a three-day trial that requires a payment card. Proprietary CAD files such as SolidWorks need STEP export, and native IFC import is unavailable.

OmniView 3D combines browser-based model sharing with interactive viewing tools and a wide format list. Check the Starter storage and retention limits, and confirm that your CAD workflow can use supported import formats.

It suits industrial teams handling engineering review, supplier validation, after-sales visualization, or interactive product catalogs. It may also fit teams that need to share browser-viewable 3D models without requiring recipients to install software.

OmniView 3D is a browser-based workspace for sharing industrial CAD models and presenting them interactively. It fits engineering, supplier and sales teams whose recipients should inspect a model without installing software or creating an account. Its strongest case is controlled, link-based review with unusually broad format coverage; its main drawbacks are short free-plan retention and the need to convert some native CAD files.

Overview

Upload a model, then distribute a private URL or place an iframe in a site. Recipients can open it on a phone, tablet or desktop browser without an OmniView account or local application. That makes supplier validation, engineering review and after-sales explanations easier to circulate than files that require a particular desktop viewer.

The viewer goes beyond simple orbit-and-zoom inspection. Exploded assemblies, automatic dimensions, annotations, hologram mode and interactive catalogs support both technical discussion and product presentation. Private sharing is a good fit for business conversations, though it is less suited to anyone seeking a public model-discovery community.

Key features

Format support spans STEP, IGES, GLB, glTF, FBX, OBJ, STL, PLY, DAE, 3DS, 3MF, DXF, AMF and OFF. That covers common CAD-exchange and mesh workflows, but SolidWorks and other proprietary files must first be exported to STEP. Native IFC import is not available, so building-information workflows that depend on IFC need a conversion step.

Iframe publishing works in Shopify, WordPress and Notion. Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento and PrestaShop integrations address ecommerce catalogs, while HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive and Zoho CRM connect the model experience to sales operations. These connections make the Pro and Business tiers more compelling for organizations using 3D as a sales asset rather than only as an internal viewer.

Files are hosted on AWS in Ireland and are encrypted in transit and at rest; the maker says uploads are not used to train AI. Stripe handles payment details, and Holovisio does not store card numbers. Stripe and Vercel are US-based GDPR-compliant subprocessors, alongside EU-based Supabase storage and authentication, a privacy arrangement that should be reviewed against your organization's data policy.

Pricing

The freemium structure is clear but the free tier is deliberately temporary. Starter costs nothing and allows 3 models with 100 MB of storage, plus STEP, GLB, OBJ and FBX imports. Shared models are automatically deleted after 3 days and carry a watermark. It is useful for a quick proof of concept or a short-lived review, not for an archive or durable customer link.

Pro costs $59 a month, billed $59/month excl. tax. It raises capacity to 50 models and 5 GB, unlocks all listed 3D formats, and adds dimensions, hologram, exploded-view and catalog tools with unlimited retention. A 3-day free trial requires a payment card. This is the sensible tier for a small engineering or product team that needs persistent links and the full presentation toolkit.

Business costs $179 a month, billed $179/month excl. tax. It supports up to 200 models and 50 GB, retains Pro tools and unlimited retention, and adds priority support. Choose it when a shared team library and faster support matter more than minimizing subscription cost. Entreprise uses custom pricing (Facturation sur devis) for more than 200 models or 50 GB and includes dedicated support.

Platforms

OmniView 3D is available on web, iOS and Android. Because recipients view links in a browser, the service is practical across mobile, tablet and desktop contexts without requiring a matching installed viewer.

Who it's for

Engineering groups can use dimensions, markups and exploded assemblies during design discussions; suppliers and customers can inspect a controlled link without an account. After-sales teams can explain assemblies visually, while ecommerce and sales teams can place interactive models in storefronts, documentation and CRM-linked campaigns. It is a weaker fit for teams that must open native SolidWorks or IFC files directly, or that need free links to remain available beyond three days.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Browser access without recipient accounts or software removes a major sharing barrier.
• Pro: Broad import coverage and engineering-oriented tools support both review and catalog presentation.
• Pro: Unlimited retention on Pro and Business avoids the Starter deletion cycle.
• Con: Starter is capped at 3 models, 100 MB and three-day retention, with a watermark.
• Con: Proprietary CAD files require STEP export, and IFC cannot be imported natively.
• Con: Pro and Business trials last only 3 days and require a payment card.

Alternatives

For a broader directory of viewers, see 3D Model Viewer Software. Choose Nanome instead if collaborative workspaces, API access or self-hosting are priorities. Aspose.3D Viewer is a free, multi-platform option. Graphisoft BIMx suits Graphisoft project sharing, though opening projects on mobile and desktop requires a Graphisoft account. p3d.in is a lower-cost hosted option with a $6 monthly Plus plan. BIMx Web Viewer provides free browser viewing, with Pro transfer features tied to an eligible company and Graphisoft ID. Dalux is an alternative for BIM and field workflows. F3D is free and open source under the BSD 3-Clause License. Marmoset Viewer is a paid ecosystem option with a free plan.

Verdict

Choose OmniView 3D if your team needs private, link-based CAD review and product presentation across browsers, especially with persistent storage and ecommerce or CRM embedding. Pro is the practical starting point for most small teams; Business adds room and priority support for larger libraries. Look elsewhere if your workflow depends on native SolidWorks or IFC imports, or if a free plan must preserve shared models long term.
