4 Best Free 3DXML Viewer Software For Windows

Here is a list of best free 3DXML viewer software for Windows. 3DXML is a 3D file format that carries 3D elements and models. It uses the XML container to store 3D elements. It is similar to many CAD file formats that also carry 3D models. However, it is not as popular as other 3D file formats due to which there are not many applications that support this format. Now, if you have a 3D model stored in 3DXML format and you want to view it, you might have a tough time finding an application that can open it. To resolve this problem, I have created this list of 3DXML viewer software.

In these software, you can easily load and view 3D models of a 3DXML file. In some viewers, you can also open up multiple 3D files at a time using their multi-tab interface. Besides 3DXML files, most of these viewers also support 3D models of OBJ, 3DS, STLL, SLDASM, PRT, IGS, XPS, etc., formats.

To properly view and analyze a 3D model, these viewers offer viewing tools like Pan (to move a model), Zoom (to closely analyze a model), Rotate (to view a model from different directions and orientations), etc. Plus, direct buttons or options to change the direction (front view, top view, right view, etc.) of a 3D model is also present in these viewers. Other essential viewing tools like Wireframe, Shading, Shading with Wire, and more are also present in these viewers.

Apart from main viewing tools, these 3DXML viewers also come with some additional tools like Multi Shots, Model Compare, Measure, etc. Go through the list to know more about these viewers.

• Render Mode: It offers three rendering mode namely Wireframe (it shows the skeletal representation of a 3D model), Points (it shows points in an open space showing the corners of a 3D model), Shading (it shows the photorealistic representation of a 3D model), Shading and Wire (it shows the photorealistic 3D model along with added wireframe structure.)
• Edit Light: Through this feature, you can adjust the lighting over the model and also add multiple light sources of different colors.
• Sectioning: This tool removes the half portion of a 3D model so that you can analyze its internal structure.

Additional Features:

• Multi Shots: It is an advanced screenshot taking feature through which you can take multiple screenshots of the moving 3D model. Plus, it also lets you set the resolution and format of the output screenshots.
• Instance Properties: It shows detailed information about the 3D model like number of vertices, number of faces, bounding box properties (X, Y, and Z length), material properties, and more.

Final Thoughts:

It is a good 3DXML viewer software that offers many useful tools for viewing and analyzing of 3D models.

eDrawings

eDrawings is another free 3DXML viewer software for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. It is a dedicated 3D model viewer software in which you can view and analyze 3D designs and models. The good thing about this software is its ability to support file formats of multiple 3D file formats like STL, DWG, PRTDOT, EPRT, EDRW, and more. It also offers a multi-tab interface on which you can open up multiple 3D models at a time. After viewing a 3DXML file, you can save it in SLDPRT, STL, DWG, PRTDOT, EPRT, EDRW, etc.. formats.

Main Features:

• View: It is a tab that offers essential viewing tools that helps you view a 3D model from different angles and distance like zoom to fit, zoom to area, rotate, pan, select, and perspective (to view model from different positions like front, top, back, etc.).
• Wireframe: It lets you view the skeletal view of a solid 3D model.
• Shaded: It shows the actual look of a 3D model with the original light and shadow profile.
• Section: Using it, you can split a 3D model from multiple axes namely XY, YZ, and XZ. This feature helps you look at the internal details of a 3D model.

Additional Features:

• Animate: This feature automatically moves and rotates the model so that you can view it from every possible angle.
• Stamps: It contains multiple predefined stamps like Approved, Draft, Final, etc., which you can add over 3D models.

Final Thoughts:

It is a simple and cleanly designed 3DXML viewer software that offers essential 3D viewing tools and a good 3D model viewing experience.

3D XML Player

3D XML Player is yet another free 3DXML viewer software for Windows. It is primarily a 3D XML viewer plugin for Internet Explorer that allows you to load and view 3DXML files in the Internet Explorer browser. Plus, it also adds essential 3D model viewing features to its interface. You can also take advantage of the multi-tab interface of the Internet Explorer to view multiple 3DXML files at a time. Let’s take a look at the main features of this plugin.

Main Features:

• Isometric View: It offers multiple options to quickly view a 3D model from different positions like Front View, Top View, Left View, Right View, etc.
• Shading: In this menu, you get multiple modes (shading, shading with edges, wireframe,) to view both internal and outer structure of a 3D model.
• Ambiance: It lets you adjust the color profile and patterns of the background to highlight the main model.
• Standard Viewing Tools: This software also offers standard viewing tools namely pan, zoom, and rotate to view a 3D model from different angles and distances.

Additional Feature:

• Play: It is a handy tool that automatically moves and rotates the input 3D model to give you its overview.

Final Thoughts:

It is a simple 3DXML viewer plugin for Internet Explorer through which you can view and analyze a 3D model saved in a 3DXML file.

EnSuite-View

EnSuite-View is the next free 3DXML viewer software for Windows. This software is primarily a CAD file viewer that also supports 3DXML, SLDASM, PRT, IGS, XPS, etc. file formats. It is a simple 3DXML viewer in which you get all essential 3D model viewing tools. It also comes with a multi-tab interface that lets you open up multiple 3D files in side by side tabs. Now, check out the main features of this viewer.

Main Features:

• Viewing Tools: In this software, you get all essential viewing tools like Pan (to move the model), Rotate (to view a model in any direction), Zoom (to closely analyze an area of a model), Viewing Modes (it offers direct options to view model from fixed directions like front, back, left, right, etc.), etc.
• Rendering Modes: This software offers multiple rendering modes namely Wireframe, Shaded with Edges, Shaded Without Edges, Hidden Line Removed, and Hidden Line Grayed.
• Create Section: It removes half part of a 3D model so that you can view and analyze its internal structure.
