// MODULE: STL VIEWER
View and Inspect 3D STL Files for Template and Pattern Validation
The STL Viewer module enables interactive 3D model previews for templated and pattern-driven workflows. Use it in Pattern Libraries, Project Templates, and Project Management to ensure design accuracy before fabrication or assembly.
Core Features
- Real-Time 3D Preview: Rotate, zoom, and pan STL models directly in the browser
- Contextual Integration: Preview components within their template or pattern context before deployment
- Optimized Loading: Lightweight viewer for smooth performance on desktop and mobile
- Scope Control: Visible only in modules that require STL rendering—not in checklists or inventory lists
- Secure Access: Permissions restrict STL views to authorized roles and contexts
Used In
- Pattern Libraries — Validate 3D pattern components before reuse
- Project Templates — Preview parts embedded in templated assemblies
- Project Management — Confirm custom 3D elements in live projects
Optional Integrations
- 🪚 Cutlist Manager — View associated STL models before generating part breakdowns
- 📁 Pattern Libraries — Source linked 3D patterns for build templates
- 📁 Project Templates — Preview STL assets embedded in standard templates
- 📁 Project Work Orders — Confirm 3D components within project-specific work orders
- 📁 Project Management — Visualize and confirm STL components in active projects
Validate with your eyes before you build.
The STL Viewer brings precise, in-context model inspection into core design workflows.
