View 3D CTM Files Online

Use this free tool to view your 3D CTM (OpenCTM) files online without needing to install any software. Our CTM viewer tool will generate a real-time 3D preview of your CTM file with Pan and Zoom controls, allowing you to see your 3D model from any angle.

Our CTM viewing tool can load most CTM files, and we are working on improvements all the time to improve compatibility with all file formats. If you are looking to convert your 2D image files to 3D files, such as STL, then we have a 2D to 3D conversion tool here.

Description

The CTM file format is a 3D triangle mesh format that contains 3D geometry such as vertices, faces, and face normals. The format was devised and released in 2010 with the intention of creating 3D models that could be compressed and easily distributed.

The compression methods employed by the CTM format can be lossy or lossless. The lossy compression will attempt to simplify the mesh vertices to reduce the space needed to store them, while the lossless method employs the LZMA compression library. The format has its own dedicated CTM viewer application, though the format is not well supported by other 3D modeling applications.
