See it before we make it
Upload your 3D model to spin it around and check its size, then place it in your room with your phone camera.
Drag to rotate. Scroll or pinch to zoom.
Your model
Model lying on its side? Each tap rotates it 90°.
Checking whether this device can show AR.AR viewing works with STL, OBJ, GLB and GLTF files. A .gltf file must be a single file, not linked to separate texture or .bin files.
Your file stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded until you attach it to your request email.
