Open and review your CAD 3D files, Step included, share them with your prospects and customers and focus on your business. And do it all much faster than ever.
Clari3D opens numerous 3D CAD file formats, for free or with additional modules.
Open a 3D CAD file and review it immediately with a simple user interface and take measures, changes the display settings of the model, export it in other formats.
Send the native VIZ file (and so protected) everywhere as it is one of the smallest CAD file format, or send your model by email with our embedded WebGL viewer.
Meet your prospects and customers with your 3D easier than ever.
Export any 3D CAD models on our J3D WebGL format and put it in your Websites for free (you can also export directly in HTML with the 3D data embedded)
Clari3D is a viewer for 3D files from architecture or mechanical CAD. It also exists in the Lite and Pro versions for Linux, Mac and Windows in order to meet the needs of our customers.
It is designed for non-specialist users and its user interface is simple and intuitive. Immediately, you can review your model, annotate it and change the rendering settings. In addition, there is some debugger tools such as Stepalyzer that allows to deeply analyze a Step file.
Clari3D software are compatible with 3D Connection Space Mouses® in order to make 3D navigation much easier than before.
You can send a VIZ file to your customers; they are able to open it with Clari3D Lite that is not charged. The VIZ file format is one of the most compact in the market.
You can exchange in an even more simple way, sending a 3D model directly by email.
Clari3D generates an email with an attached HTML page that embeds the 3D model and a link to our WebGL 3D viewer. The file can be displayed immediately everywhere without the need to install any additional software as it uses only JavaScript. Clicking in the attached document in the email will open the Web browser and will display the 3D model.
The 3D data are embedded in the HTML file and so, there is no access to any server in order to fetch them (the only thing that is obtained from Internet is our JavaScript viewer, in order to have always the last version). Your data stay strictly confidential and are not put in any server.
Clari3D gives you also the possibility to save a 3D CAD model in HTML. This HTML code can be put in your Website, for free, allowing your visitors to view it.
In order to have more control, you can also save the model in our J3D format for our Web viewer and design the Web page as you want. And this is free of charge!
Writing your custom HTML page is no more complicated than:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://www.clari3D.com/js/clari3D.js/clari3D.min.js"
async>
<div
class="clari3D"
axis="yes" base="yes" gui="yes" level="expert"
background="yes" tree_wrap="true"
themes="gray opacity rounded shadow"
src="assets/webgl/model-1.j3d">
</div>
With its powerful 3D render engine, Software based for Clari3D Lite, OpenGL based for Clari3D and Clari3D Pro, it is able to display huge 3D models in common desktop workstations. In addition, it has real-time rendering optimizations such as Level Of Details (LOD), Rendering Degradation, Details Removal that speed up the rendering during the user interactions.
We have designed Clari3D especially for wide 3D models: Level Of Details, Progressive Scene Degradation, Projected Scene Simplifications are algorithms that dramatically decrease rendering time, in real time.
Clari3D is very optimized in term of memory footprint; it uses for this purpose a custom 3D data structure and a custom renderer developed for years.
In addition, when this is possible, some user interactions are in fact performed in 2D, over the 3D model. This is the case in the quotation tool.
Thus, we have been able to display a 20 million polygons model in a 2006 Macbook with a basic Intel® GMA graphic card!
Clari3D works on Linux, Mac and Windows using the native SDK. You can work with all your customers and be confident that they are able to see your files!
Clari3D is designed with a custom toolkit API that is platform neutral. All the modules speak with this API and so, are platform-neutral. There is of course one module that is deeply platform dependant, the TK module.
In addition, Clari3D uses a GUI description (such as an XML description) and each module sends its description to the TK module. This facilitates porting and independence.
This is a quite big piece of software that is build from more than 1 million lines of written source code in several languages, mainly C, C++, ObjecticeC, Scheme, shell...
If you have plenty of files to convert, Clari3D is associated to a server tool Clari3D Server that is a command line utility for file servers or Web server.
Clari3D Server is a kind of GUI less Clari3D: it is made with the same source code, shares the same libraries and configuration options, but it operates from its command line.
Clari3D Server can be used in Web servers to convert CAD files in VIZ or J3D as soon as they are requested for display. It can also be used in batch mode in order to pre-convert parts of CAD objects that are assembled with the VAS (VIZ Assembly) file format on request. Emerson-Leroy Somer online configurator works with Clari3D Server both in batch mode and in real time.
Clari3D has advanced tools to help you to explore your 3D models.
The tree-view shows the structure of the 3D files with the parts. Parts can be shown or hidden with their check-boxes. The standard and Pro versions allow to edit the rendering attributes (color, transparency, rendering mode, ...).
The hilighting mode in the Pro version makes the relation between the displayed objects and the part list by clicking either on the 3D objects or on the part names in the tree-view.
The hilighted part is displayed normally while the other parts are either hidden, displayed transparently or with their outlines.
The picking mode allows to identify an object in the 3D scene and to select its tree-view entry when clicked.
Send a 3D file in one click, with the 'File/send by email'
The email contains a HTLM file as attachment with all the 3D data inside. The JavaScript clari3d.js viewer is fetched from our Website on request, so your data are not in the Cloud, only in the mail box of the receivers.
In addition, the access to the files can be protected by a password.
And even more: you can export any model in HTML in order to put it in your Web server, for free. For more customization, the J3D can be saved in order to let you customize the way you instantiate our viewer in your Website...
And this is included in Clari3D Lite, for free!
A difficult action in 3D is to "go somewhere" in the model.
Clari3D offers several great tools for that, and the simpler is the Spot tool.
To select a new point of view:
select the tool in the toolbar,
move the mouse on the model; the target point is a small dot in red over the object under the mouse and it will become the target of view and the center of rotation,
click to validate the target dot and enter in the viewing area selection,
The Quote tool in Clari3D takes measures on a 3D model.
The following quotes are available:
distance between vertices,
angle between 3 vertices,
circle between 3 vertices,
Quotes are put inside the 3D model.
Clari3D allows to set per objects the rendering options such as wire-frame or solid mode, color, opacity, etc.
In addition, the light can be customized as you want in order to obtain a semi-realistic view. Shadows and Fog can be used to improve look.
The cut plane is an interactive 3D object that allows to cut the current model.
It has handles on its corners that can be either clicked or dragged. On click, the cut plane is rotated by 90°. On drag, the cut plan is freely rotated, following the movements of the mouse.
In the middle of the cut plan, a handle translates the model on its axis, moving the plan.
The first immediate way to change the light position is to drag the little sun in the logo, at the bottom-right corner of the view.
If the mouse is over the logo, the arrow keys can be used to change the light position as well.
In the Scene module, the light colors can be set individually, such as the ambient color, the diffuse color, etc.
If the light is 'fixed', it is attached in the scene. It is attached to the camera otherwise, meaning that it follows the point-of-view.
In the Pro version, the Light module can manage up to 8 lights.
Each light can be a sun (infinite light) or a spot. Spots can be put anywhere in the scene, providing nice effects.
Sometime, it is needed to put a 3D model in a documentation. Usually, a screen copy of the rendered outlined model is inserted.
However, it should be nicer to insert a vectorial image rather than a bitmap in order to be resolution independent.
Clari3D Pro transforms any 3D model into a full 2D vectorial image with hidden lines written as dashed lines.
The supported output formats are SVG, DXF, Postscript that are full 2D vectorial formats or JPEG...
The skin tool is a window that displays the hidden parts of a model.
Several modes can be used:
wire-frame: display the window interior in wire-frame,
outline: display the outlines,
solid, outline solid: display the interior as solid; it is useful if the exterior of the window is displayed in wire-frame, for example,
cut-plan: make a hole in the window; the depth of the hole can be tuned with the scroll-bar,
Preview 3D is a standalone application and a software component integrated in the Operating System allowing to obtain thumbnail previews from the 3D files.
The previews are displayed in place of the file icon in the file manager, Finder® on Mac, Explorer® on Windows®. Some other applications can take advantage of Clari3D previewing, such as Mail in Mac.
Preview 3D is able to extract a preview image from the files that does not have one, such as STL files that are in pure ASCII. For this purpose, Preview 3D has its own 3D renderer.
With rendered files, hi-resolution images can be generated in the clipboard with transparent background; that is useful for integration in other documents.
It can be use in mechanic, architecture, engineering or communication.

In the table, embedded means that the file format has a previewing image inside and computed means that Clari3D Preview is able to compute the preview by itself. For some file formats such as 3MF Consortium, if the file does not have a preview inside, Clari3D will compute it.
Several files can be previewed at the same time by drag & drop in the standalone application. In addition, textures are opened.
This is not a 3D viewer: do not expect to interactively review a 3D file with it.
For the files with preview images inside, this image is used as is with the accuracy it has.
For the files that can be rendered, MacOSX and Windows both forbid the previewing components to open other files; therefore, the textures associated to the 3D files cannot be opened.
In addition, the software component limits itself its computation time and its memory use; this way, a rendering can be interrupted before the preview image extraction in order to preserve the system resources.
This the lite edition of Clari3D that offers all the tools for quick review of your 3D CAD files.
Clari3D Lite allows an easy review and handeling of 3D models. Objects can be shown or hidden from the tree-view.

Clari3D software are supported by Andéor, SAS on the following editions of Windows 10 – Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Education, and Windows 10 Enterprise. Clari3D software are supported on the in-market supported Windows 10 Current Branch for Business (CBB) servicing branches only and will be supported for the lifetime of the app until 01/2027.
Clari3D Lite can be obtained from the Ubuntu Spap Store as a Snap package at snapcraft.io/clari3d-lite-64.
Clari3D software can be obtained from either the Apple Store or from this store.
Software gotten from the Apple Store have the benefit to be validated by the Apple engineers.
In addition, one license can be installed to up to three systems, for the same user; for example, a desktop computer and a laptop.
The software are executed in a secured layer called Sandbox. In the sandbox, software have limited access to the data in the computer. This is why, for example, Clari3D is unable to open textures associated to a 3D file.
We have aligned the number of installations per license to three, as in the Apple Store.
The software share completely their source code with the Apple Store versions, so they can be considered as validated as well...
The extensions come with separated setup programs, so the main application is smaller than the Apple Store version that must include all the software components, even if they are separated extensions...
The price is significantly lower than in the Apple Store.
In addition, we provide a money back guarantee during seven days following a purchase on simple request.
You can get our software for several operating systems; be sure that you have selected your operating system in the top menu and the download links will be updated automatically.
When you purchase a software, you can install it in three systems for the same user, whatever is the operating system.
If you can, please prefer regular Clari3D rather that the Lite version or buy Clari3D Preview. This gives us the opportunity to plan further developments and improvements on our software.
Generally, sofwares in the market are updated every year. Customers can obtain the new version with an important rebate, generally 30%.
This is not our policy: when you buy our software, you can be confident to be updated for years, for free. Of course, at a time, there will be charged updates, but this is not yet planed as since 2010,
We plan to merge Clari3D Lite and Pro in the regular product with InApp purchases; Clari3D Light and Clari3D Pro owners will be updated for free with the equivalent features.

Clari3D is a long term project... Its development was initially planed in three phases:
A nice 3D viewer: allows to review any 3D CAD file in any platforms; this includes animation, slides and some other CAD tools,
Sharing 3D: allows secure sending and receiving 3D files; this leads the design of the Web plug-ins, and more recently the WegGL 3D view clari3d.js,
Clari3D has now reached the second phases. Now our developments are:
Clari3D will be able to triangulate soon! We are finishing a promised point cloud to triangles algorithm that will allow to open a point cloud file and to transform it transparently in a full 3D textured model.
We would like now to include a ray-tracer, GPU optimized, with the capability to generate photo-realistic images and video of animations (this feature was not in our initial plans).
This ray-tracer will focus on light mapping, allowing to analysis the light received in some parts of the model with accurate light descriptions.
We have started the last step, the more ambitious one: create a 3D modeler. As Clari3D is designed to be a viewer, its internal data structures are very optimized; transforming them for modeling is a great challenge but we believe to obtain a very efficient modeler with low memory needs.
You will see in the next releases some functionalities coming from the modeler; probably, the first one will be the ability to move, rotate and scale any 3D objects... The next one will be probably the animation tool able to step the transformations on the objects in order to create complex animations.
and +50000 anonymous customers in the world from the Stores we want to thank a lot for their patience and their support!
Not much to complain about for a free application. The viewer is very fluid and does the job.

Nidec has deployed on 2020 October our JavaScript 3D Web viewer clari3d.js and our batch server tool Clari3D Server in **replacement of the old plug-in based online viewer.
Leroy Somer, the electrical and industrial division at Nidec, world wide leader, uses the Andéor solutions since 2010.
The online configurator with the integrated CAD viewer has dramatically changed the user experience offering an interactive 3D representation of the configured devices. In addition to the viewer, the 2D converter is also integrated in order to generate the six projected DXF views of the configured devices.
The Andéor architecture has simplified a lot the 3D data management and reduced the maintenance costs because only one stream of 3D data is needed while several was needed before (industrial process, 3D viewer, 2D views) with specific modelers and tools.
Parts of the 3D models are pre-converted from Step to VIZ, our closed ultra-compact 3D format, in batch mode by Clari3D Server. When the user generates a device, the XEG+XAO configurator, a division of Schneider Electric Group, generates in real time an ASCII assembly file in VAS format, our ASCII assembly format; then Clari3D Server generates a J3D files for our online viewer clari3d.js. The generated VAS file is also used by Clari3D Server on demand when the user download the DXF 2D models.

We are please to announce the new version of Clari3D suite and its new Website.
The main changes for Clari3D Pro are:
-- Clari3D Team
Starting to the version 2.0.3, Clari3D Lit now opens Step and IGES files natively.
This will dramatically increase the compatibility with the industry standard and the user needs.
-- Clari3D Team
Clari3D Free is renamed as Clari3D Lit and Clari3D Light is renamed as Clari3D.
These renaming have no impact on the existing license that will be transparently updated.
Best regards
-- Clari3D Team
The next version of Clari3D will allow multi-item selection in the treeview as well as multi-object selection in the 3D scene.
The rendering options of the selected objects may be modified globally instead of changing them one by one.
In addition, the hilighting mode will be able to operate on the multi-selection.
The multi-object selection will be also used by the cut tool in order to cut (optionnaly) only the selected objects.
Later, it will be used by the new tool in preparation that will allow to add 3D models in existing models and then by the Clari3D modeler that will extend Clari3D Pro for free...
-- Clari3D Team
We have just finished the translation of the Website in French, and add the localization capability to our Website compiler HTGen.
The French localized Website is http://www.clari3d.com/fr.

Clari3D Free are built for Windows, Mac and Linux. Installation packages should be uploaded soon.
We would like to thank a lot the early users who have registered their account! Thank so much you for your interest. Your work will not be lost: your account will not be deleted and you will be notified when the software is available.
Users registered in caniviz.com will be transferred automatically in clari3d.com and the new version of their software will be made available. You will receive an email with a new activation number for the new activation scheme and your download links...
Changing the name of several applications as well as the licensing scheme can be a tedious task, and it is! Every link to the old name must be removed, all the URL, documentations, comments need to be changed...
Clari3D Free is now finished and tested for Mac and Windows. We are currently working on the renaming of the server tools...
-- Clari3D Team
The new Website is started with an original design based on the last cutting edges technologies of the Web:
We have designed for this purpose a Website compiler that generates static Web pages.
In addition, we have renamed 'caniviz' as 'clari3d', with the new logo.
We are finishing our WebGL CaniVIZ viewer integration: caniviz.js is a tremendous 3D viewer for the Web browsers.
From CaniVIZ Free, Light and Pro, everyone will able to save a file in either J3D (our custom 3D format for the Web) or directly in HTML with the J3D file embedded inside and put in the Web (The caniviz.js functionalities however will depend on the used CaniVIZ generator).
In addition, we have added a nice feature in the 'File/Send by email' menu of CaniVIZ: in one click, the current file can be send by email to any receivers, either in VIZ our in HTML. With the HTML format, the receiver will be able to display the 3D file without the need of installing any software...
In the future, the files sent will be optionally 'managed' ; this means that they will be stored in our server, and any receiver will be able to annotate it; the annotations will be dynamically shared between all the receivers.
The Windows version of the CaniVIZ suite has been update in out Store in order to correct a potential software activation problem that can occur in some systems, avoiding activation.
CaniVIZ Pro 1.1.3 ans CaniVIZ Light now have true volume shadows for nice 3D rendering. CaniVIZ Free now has protected shadows onto the 3D base.
The AutoCAD DXF/DWG reader is now free of charge. It can be "purchased" at a 0 cost from our store and Ubuntu Store, and it is a free of charge InApp purchase in the Apple App Store.
Enjoy!
We are proud to announce that CaniVIZ 3D Viewer 1.1.12 is released and pushed in the Apple Store, the Linux Ubuntu Store and the CaniVIZ Store.
This release is available free of charges for our customers, as usual.
It fixes some minor features for all the OS and a big issue for Mac, in the user interface.

CaniVIZ Support
The last update of CaniVIZ 3D Preview 1.1.13 now works with Trimble Sketchup files, as a bug is now fixed! This is nice to have a preview in Finder. It just has been approved by Apple App Store reviewers.
Notice that the Windows version does not have this bug and works well to with Trimble Sketchup files.
We are proud to announce the new Website at mydocs.me where you can create and use your 3D workshop in the cloud.
These workshops allow, for free, to store, share and display files, even 3D files. The 3D files can be converted in our 3D VIZ ultra-compact format online, for free too.
Texts, images, sounds, PDFs and 3D files can be viewer online. All the files are versioned.
We are very happy to announce that we have made CaniVIZ 3D Free available for free in order to let more users use this exiting software.
It is available at the Apple Store, the Linux Ubuntu Store and the CaniVIZ Store.
A new version of CaniVIZ 3D Preview is submitted to the Apple Store today.
This release has the following changes:
CaniVIZ 3D Preview is a tool that replaces the 3D file icons by a thumbnail of their contents. What is nice with CaniVIZ Preview is that it allows to generate a preview for file formats that does not have a preview image inside, such as STL that is pure ASCII file.
CaniVIZ 3D Preview comes with a plug-in that is used by the system to generate the preview in the Finder or in other places where preview are allowed, and with an application that allows drag and drop.
CaniVIZ 3D preview handle the following formats: 3D Studio, STL, WaveFront, ASCII point cloud, Step / IGES, AutoCad® DWG™, Trimble Sketchup® or Dassault System 3DXml®, CATPart® and CATProducts®.
Notice that the rendered files are rendered without the textures due to the Apple QuickLook technology that is protected by a sandbox, and some wide files cannot be rendered due to time and resources limitations.
CaniVIZ 1.1.10 for Windows, Mac and Linux is released and available in the Apple Store, Ubuntu Store, and CaniVIZ Store as well as CaniVIZ 3D Preview for Windows and Mac.
This new version fixes some rare problem with binary STL files and the Pro version for Mac and Windows is now able to import many CAD files with optional modules:
in addition to the previous readers:
CaniVIZ Free, Light and Pro 1.1.7 are now in the Apple Store, Linux Ubuntu Store and CaniVIZ Store as a free update.
They now support 3D SpaceMouses from 3DConnexion to ease scene manipulations.
The Linux version has also been updated to correct an OpenGL error in 64 bits systems.
Our new CAD readers are in progress for all the platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux). They will read ACIS, CADDS, CATIA 4 to 6, CERCON, CEREC, CGR, DCM, Inventor, JT, ParaSolid, Siemens PLM/XML, ProCera, Pro/E, SolidEdges, SolidWorks, Unigraphics and VDA... Planned in August...
Step and IGES are readable for free in CaniVIZ Windows and Mac... For Linux, it is planned in August...
Dassault System Spatial Interop is our CAD file format readers (Step, IGES, CATIA, Pro/E, etc).
They have chosen to change their licence in a way that is clearly unfriendly for start-ups and small business companies. This group only focus on money and profit without any consideration for investment in the future. This is very inglorious for this French company.
But finally, this good news for our customers because we now have a second source CAD reader that is much more efficient (models are smaller and more beautiful), much more small (the binary libraries are about 30MB while Spatial Interop was +250MB!) and with a much more affordable price... In addition, the readers will be available for Windows, Mac and Linux!
We are working very hard to make available the new CAD readers.
CaniVIZ Pro 1.1.5 now includes a Step and IGES reader for free.
CaniVIZ 3D solutions have obtained the Microsoft's Windows 8 platform ready certification.
CaniVIZ Free & Light 1.1.4 for Linux are available on our Website and at the Linux Ubuntu Store free of charge for the customers. They are compatible with the last official Ubuntu Linux 12.10 and previous.
In our Store, the Debian, Redhat and Slackware packages will be available.
