## What is CADVault?

CADVault opens STEP files and other 3D models right on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Fast, offline and without your designs ever leaving the device.

OWN STEP KERNEL
• Reads STEP AP203, AP214 and AP242 with assembly structure, part names, colors, units and tessellated meshes
• Built for large assemblies with thousands of parts, smooth on iPhone and iPad
• Also opens STL, OBJ, glTF/GLB, PLY and USD/USDZ

VIEW AND UNDERSTAND
• Assembly tree: show or hide parts and subassemblies, search, zoom to a part
• Shaded, shaded with edges or edges only; perspective or orthographic
• Standard views, free rotation, pan and zoom
• Colors from the file, per part or per part type, plus custom colors
• Selectable up axis, saved per file

MEASURE
• Distance between two points
• With Pro: radii, surface areas and edge lengths from the exact STEP geometry

CADVAULT PRO
• Open large models over 20 MB
• Convert to STL, OBJ, PLY and GLB, optionally only visible parts, with colors
• Section view along X, Y or Z and exploded view
Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription. Models up to 20 MB can be opened, viewed and measured for free.

PRIVACY FIRST
• No upload, no account, no ads, no analytics
• The app makes no internet connections of its own
• Encrypted library: copies, thumbnails and settings with AES-256-GCM, key only in this device's keychain, excluded from backups
