Open3D Viewer is the fastest free 3D model viewer for STL, GLB, OBJ, FBX, STEP, DXF, USDZ, PLY, 3MF, GLTF, IGES, DAE and 3DS files. Open any 3D file in seconds, view it in AR with Apple Quick Look, and check it for 3D printing — no account, no sign-up, no cloud upload. Your files never leave your iPhone or iPad. Whether you're a 3D-printing hobbyist checking an STL before slicing, a 3D artist previewing a GLB or FBX, or a CAD user opening a STEP or DXF, Open3D Viewer opens it instantly — without the paywalls and login screens other 3D viewers force on you. SUPPORTED 3D FILE FORMATS • Mesh: STL, GLB, GLTF, OBJ, PLY, 3MF, FBX, DAE, 3DS, USDZ • CAD: STEP / STP, IGES / IGS, DXF Export & convert Turn OBJ, PLY, 3MF, FBX, DAE, 3DS and more into STL for 3D printing or GLB for sharing.

Vitrine turns 3D files into photoreal AR presentations. Import CAD and 3D files (STL, OBJ, glTF/GLB — including Draco-compressed — and USDZ), drop on physically-based materials, pick studio-grade lighting, and walk your client around the result at true scale through the iPhone or iPad camera. • Import: STL, OBJ+MTL, glTF/GLB (incl. Draco), USDZ/Reality — with automatic repair, welding and smart decimation • Materials: 60+ PBR presets, or apply the file's own materials • Lighting: 15 environments, including real HDR image-based lighting • Configurators: capture states (colors, exploded views) viewers switch with one tap; Auto-Explode builds the exploded view for you • Stories: guided step-by-step walkthroughs — states, viewpoints and your text, paged with arrows in the viewer and in AR • Stage in AR: arrange parts at true scale in the real room and capture the result as a state • Callouts: numbered pins with notes, photos and links — drag them across the model to place them • AR anchoring five ways: tabletop, any surface (LiDAR), printed QR marker (live-tracked) — face and body anchoring return in a coming update • Exhibition mode (Pro): lock a device to curated scenes for fairs and showrooms — passcode-gated exit; Stand Statistics count what visitors actually opened (on-device only) • App Clip (Marque): print a Visitor Link code and anyone can open your scene instantly — no install, hosted on YOUR web space, never ours • LiDAR scanning (Pro), USDZ export (Pro), unlimited projects (Pro) • Ready-made example scenes and models for every AR mode Free to use with three projects and every core tool. One purchase unlocks Pro — no subscription, no accounts, no data collection.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Open3D at none against Vitrine AR's 2. Open3D also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Vitrine AR's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
