CaniVIZ Free is a lightweight, cross-platform 3D CAD viewer developed by the French software company Andeor SAS. It is designed to allow non-technical users, clients, and partners to view, interact with, and evaluate 3D computer-aided design (CAD) files without needing expensive engineering software licenses. Key Features
Universal File Formats: The software handles a wide variety of standard and proprietary 3D CAD formats, including 3DS, OBJ, DWG, STL, and its own optimized, highly-compressed .VIZ universal format.
Interactive Toolset: Users can manipulate 3D models with basic controls to pan, zoom, rotate, read annotations, and play back built-in animations.
Hardware Support: The platform supports 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse® hardware, allowing users to navigate complex 3D structures fluidly.
Operating System Compatibility: It is entirely free of charge and fully functional across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms. Software Ecosystem
CaniVIZ Free belongs to a broader suite of visualization tools historically offered by the developer:
CaniVIZ Light / Pro: Paid, upgraded tiers that incorporate more complex CAD readers capable of handling massive industrial files from platforms like Catia, Pro/E, or Inventor.
CaniVIZ 3D Preview: A companion utility that integrates directly with file explorers (like Windows Explorer or macOS Finder) to replace generic icons with dynamic 3D thumbnail previews.
Online Workshop: A collaborative cloud space where users can host and share their 3D models directly on the web.
