What Is an OBJ File?
OBJ (Wavefront Object) is one of the most universally supported open formats for 3D geometry. Originally developed by Wavefront Technologies, it is now supported by virtually every 3D application , Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, ZBrush, and many CAD tools. OBJ files store vertex positions, texture coordinates, and surface normals, making them a reliable choice for exchanging geometry across tools.
An OBJ viewer online removes the requirement for any of these applications at the review or delivery stage. Upload the OBJ file to ShareCAD, and anyone with the link can inspect the 3D geometry in their browser, rotating, zooming, and examining the model without installing software.
ShareCAD supports viewing OBJ files in a browser alongside other 3D formats including STL, GLTF, FBX, and PLY. Whether you are sharing a product design, game asset, or visualization model, a browser link is the fastest path to get the model in front of someone.
OBJ Viewer Use Cases
Product visualization
Share 3D product models with clients or marketing teams who don't have 3D software. They view the OBJ in their browser during a review call.
Asset handoffs
Game and VFX studios handoff 3D assets via OBJ. A browser viewer lets the receiving team confirm geometry and topology without opening a DCC application.
Architectural visualization
Designers share OBJ exports from SketchUp or Blender with clients for review and feedback before final rendering.
3D scan delivery
Scan-to-mesh workflows often produce OBJ output. ShareCAD lets you deliver the result to clients for inspection via a simple link.
