View 3D GCODE Files Online

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

Our GCODE viewing tool can load most GCODE 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 GCODE file format is the native file format used by CNC machines and 3D printers as a means to coordinate the movement and actions of these machines. In the case of FDM 3D printers, the file contains commands to move the extruder to specific locations and the rate with which to extrude the plastic filament onto the build plate.

A GCODE is a plain text file containing lists of commands, with each command appearing on a new line within the file. These commands control how the CNC machine or 3D printer operates and creates a particular 3D object. GCODE is a standard format and is usually generated by 3D printing slicer software from standard 3D model formats such as STL.
