Visualize and share medical device 3D files without CAD software. OmniView 3D for MedTech teams: engineering, regulatory, surgeons, and sales.
Medical device manufacturers, orthopedic implants, dental prosthetics, surgical instruments, imaging equipment, work with complex CAD files that only a fraction of their teams can open. OmniView 3D enables engineering, regulatory, commercial, and clinical teams to visualize 3D models from their browser, with no CAD license.
3D visualization supports a fast-growing industry. The global orthopedic implants market is projected to reach $32.47 billion by 2030, and medical 3D printing, which relies heavily on the STL format, grows from $8.52 billion in 2023 to a projected $27.29 billion by 2030, roughly +18.5% a year. These files are most often exchanged in the STEP interoperability format, standardized under ISO 10303: opening them without a CAD license is a daily need across the chain, from the engineering office to the surgeon.
| Format | Typical source | MedTech use |
|---|---|---|
| STEP (.step/.stp) | SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, Creo | Machined parts, implants, instruments, exact, precise geometry |
| STL | Image segmentation, CAD | Medical 3D printing: surgical guides, patient-specific prosthetics |
| OBJ / GLB | 3D Slicer, Mimics, reconstruction | Patient-specific anatomy from CT/MRI scanners |
To go deeper on each format, see the free STEP file viewer online and the STL file viewer online. Recipient doesn't have SolidWorks? See share a STEP file without SolidWorks.
Medical device CAD files contain sensitive IP, patented geometries, critical tolerances, materials. OmniView 3D keeps every model private by default, with revocable links and an optional expiry date on project shares. All data is hosted in the European Union (AWS eu-west-1, Ireland), isolated per account, with expiring signed URLs. To go further on this, see protecting IP when sharing CAD files and the 3D viewer for quality control in manufacturing.
Export the model from your CAD tool (SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, or specialized medical software) as STEP or STL. Upload it to OmniView 3D, share the link by email, or embed it as an iFrame in your surgeon portal. The surgeon views the implant in interactive 3D from their browser or tablet, no installation, no account.
OmniView 3D is a visualization tool, not medical software for diagnostic use. It is not certified as an IVD or medical device. For regulatory documentation, screenshots and 3D views generated with OmniView can be included in Technical Files as illustrations, subject to your specific dossier requirements.
Yes. 3D reconstructions from medical image segmentation (3D Slicer, Mimics, Materialise) typically export as STL or OBJ, both supported by OmniView 3D. Ideal for visualizing patient-specific anatomy and preparing surgical planning.
MedTech engineers use SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, or Creo for CAD. For cross-team and surgeon sharing, OmniView 3D (shareable web viewer), eDrawings (Dassault, desktop), and PLM-integrated viewers (Windchill, Enovia) are the most common solutions.
Yes. Every model is private by default. A share link is only distributed if you decide to, it stays revocable at any time, and an expiry date can be set on project shares. Data is hosted in the European Union (AWS eu-west-1, Ireland), isolated per account, with expiring signed URLs.
