What to know▼
How it works
local AI proposes a bounded 3D design, the app validates it and generates hashed geometry files with visible checks
What's different
keeps humans in control and separates digital design from physical printing/slicing
Best for
developers designing hard-surface parts without a connected 3D printer
Watch out
only handles design/validation, not slicing or physical print verification

CadPeek

LiveWatched 22d

Opens, measures and marks up DWG/DXF CAD files in the browser without installing AutoCAD; parsing happens locally so files aren't uploaded. Aimed at contractors and reviewers, not software developers.

FreeNothing to installWorks offline
What to know▼
How it works
Opens DWG and DXF CAD files directly in the browser without AutoCAD, letting you view layers, search labels, measure distances, mark up issues, convert between DWG/DXF/PDF, and share view-only links. Supports DWG formats from R12 through 2024.
What's different
Parses files locally in the browser by default rather than uploading them to a server, and requires no AutoCAD license or install.
Pricing
Free.
Best for
Contractors, engineers, and reviewers who need to view or mark up CAD drawings without owning AutoCAD.
