3D CAD to Web software

3D CAD to Web software

3D CAD to Web software

(OP)
I am looking for an inexpensive authoring tool that will take 3D files and put them into a browser for viewing. I have looked at 3D partstream, too expensive, Actify, Viewpoint and others.. all seem to expensive. I can export just about any type of file type. I use IronCad..

RE: 3D CAD to Web software

Solidworks has a free viewer (for solidworks files). We operate it in a browser, but I am not sure how we do it.

If you need the red capablity then you have to use a product called e-drawings. There is a free version that produces an executeable file that can be viewed.  The e-drawings II is a product (cost I don't know) that has the redline function.

Yes. Solidwork directly exports and is free. But I do not use Solidworks, and need an external 3D web creator. IronCad does it also but it uses VRML, which has extremely poor quality.
