Light Web Viewer

On this page

Let people explore a model on your website

Customers want to see how parts fit. Reviewers need to inspect a detail and select a component. Light Web Viewer brings these interactions into your web application.

Use it for parts catalogs, design review, product configuration, or service tools that connect model items with product or service information.

How it works

Prepare a supported scene file and load it into a viewer inside your web page. Connect selected objects with your product or engineering data. Your application adds actions such as opening a part record or saving a review note, while the viewer handles navigation and 3D interaction.

Help users answer questions in 3D

Navigate assemblies, change visibility, inspect exploded views, and use transparency to see relationships. Clipping planes and caps reveal hidden regions; measurements, annotations, and snapshots support review and communication.

Mouse and touch controls help your application serve different devices and ways of working.

Connect a selected part with product information

A parts portal could open ordering information when someone selects a component. A service tool could show maintenance instructions. A design-review app could attach a comment to a particular region.

Your application defines these connections while the viewer handles 3D interaction.

Keep model delivery suited to the browser

Scene size, mesh detail, object count, network speed, and device memory all affect loading and interaction. Preparing only the detail needed for a viewing task can reduce transfer and display work.

A broad product view can use lighter geometry than a close inspection view. Choosing detail around target devices helps teams offer useful navigation without sending every user the densest available model.

Help service teams identify the right replacement part

A customer knows where a damaged component sits but cannot find its part number in a document. Support staff then exchange photographs and descriptions before they can prepare a replacement order. A browser-based parts view gives both sides a shared visual reference.

Users can hide surrounding components, explore an exploded view, and select the item they need. Your portal can use that selection to open a part record, show maintenance instructions, or start an order request. The viewer provides model interaction; catalog data, availability, and order handling come from your application.

This can reduce the manual identification work behind a service request. It also gives dealers and customers a way to inspect prepared 3D content through the website. Keep model identifiers connected to the correct product version so a selected component leads to the appropriate service information.

Prepare a practical route to the browser

Load glTF, OBJ, STL, and VRML models into your web application. Combine CAD exchange and surface meshing when a source model needs preparation for web use.

Discuss your browser experience with sample models, target devices, and the actions users should take. We can help choose detail and interactions suited to your audience.
