Ever wanted to publish your 3D cad so that it can be rotated and zoomed? Here's a handy tool, it's called JavaView and can be run as a stand alone application on Macs, Windoze and Linux.

Or embeded in a post like this: View Example

It can be used to display and convert 3D geometry files. Supported file types are: Stereo-lithography .stl, Wavefront 3D object .obj and Virtual Reality Modeling Language .wrl files.

There's a whole bunch of gadgets for manipulating views: Pan, zoom and scroll - Material: color, transparency, show/hide points, edges, facets and boundary's. Axes, grids and on ... Do a right click and pick 'Help'.

To make a link you need to put your file somewhere on the web, then 'Insert Hyperlink' in your post, like this: {url=http://www.unionsteam.co.uk/cad-view?file=URL-of-YourFile}Title{/url} where i've used curly { } you should use square [ ].

The full version available here: JavaView

A note for Abby - You can put yours in share/web then use ?http://www.unionsteam.co.uk/files/file-name NO spaces or punctuation in the name please. Export OBJ from ViaCad works best.  STL works too but, turn the facet count down for faster viewing!

First try out , give it time to load , at 1.5 Mb it's a biggish file

Brilliant

that's the obj file , here's the stl.

No wheels ? I will re-check my stl to see why  

Heres another one

Have ordered the pattern from Shapeways.com and hope to have these in production soon
