Cadova Viewer is a macOS app for viewing 3MF 3D model files, designed as a companion to the Cadova Swift library for programmatic 3D modeling.

It’s a lightweight, fast viewer that updates automatically as files change, ideal for iterative workflows where Cadova regenerates models on disk.

Features

• Live reloading: Automatically refreshes when the 3MF file changes on disk.
• Materials & Colors: Supports the core 3MF spec, plus the Production extension and colors from the 3MF Materials and Properties Extension, including PBR.
• Split view: Divide the window into multiple independent panes, each with its own camera, cross-sections, and view options.
• Cross-sections: Slice the model with interactive, undoable cut planes to inspect its interior.
• Measurements: Read coordinates and distances directly on the model, with corner snapping, axis constraints, and measurements centered on a point.
• Sidebar: Browse the model's parts and measurements, with thumbnails and visibility toggles.
• Slicing: Send the whole model or individual parts to your preferred external slicer.
• Quick Look: Preview 3MF files and see thumbnails directly in Finder.
• SpaceMouse support: Navigate freely with 3DConnexion’s SpaceMouse.
• macOS-native: Built with native APIs for smooth integration with the macOS ecosystem.

Cadova Viewer uses ThreeMF and NavLibSwift.
