3DimViewer is a lightweight 3D viewer of medical DICOM datasets that is distributed as open source software. The viewer is multiplatform software written in C++ that runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux systems. 3DimViewer source codes are available on Bitbucket (https://bitbucket.org/3dimlab/3dimviewer). Video tutorials can be found on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCvwUmKRw9ZO4YexLKEXmw_2jPo-kXVRn).

LPub3D is an Open Source WYSIWYG editing application for creating LEGO® style digital building instructions. LPub3D is developed and maintained by Trevor SANDY. It uses the LDraw™ parts library, the most comprehensive library of digital Open Source LEGO® bricks available (www.ldraw.org/ ) and reads the LDraw LDR and MPD model file formats. LPub3D is available for free under the GNU Public License v3 and runs on Windows, Linux and macOS Operating Systems. LPub3D is also available as a Linux 'no-install', multi-platform AppImage. Portions of LPub3D are based on LPUB© 2007-2009 Kevin Clague, LeoCAD© 2025 Leonardo Zide, LDView© 2025 Travis Cobbs & Peter Bartfai and additional third party components.

LDView is a 3D viewer for LDraw LEGO models with a focus on quality rendering with good performance. It also contains many features geared specifically toward LDraw part authoring.

GLTF/GLB Windows Shell Extension: This shell extension automatically adds thumbnail images to .glb files in Windows File Explorer and provides a right click menu option to generate a 3D preview image for .gltf files. Supports multi-file select and directory processing. Pre-built Windows x64 installer available at https://buymeacoffee.com/nathancrews/e/255640 LAS/LAZ Pointcloud Windows Shell Extension: This "quick viewer" shell extension provides a Windows File Explorer right click menu option to quickly generate 3D preview images for large and small .las and .laz files. (Disclaimer: Processing time depends on compute hardware) Typical processing time for 100mb .las is about 2 seconds. 25mb .laz file process in about the same times. Files are processed in parallel using available CPU cores. Pre-built Windows x64 installer available at https://buymeacoffee.com/nathancrews/e/255641
