Open STEP Viewer visualizing a STEP model

Open STEP Viewer is the result of years of experience developing Open IFC Viewer and the ODA Platform. It incorporates the following ODA products:

• ODA STEP SDK provides low-level work with STEP models of various application protocols using the Standard Data Access Interface (SDAI) and geometry generation;
• ODA Visualize provides high-quality visualization of complex 3D geometry.

“The release of Open STEP Viewer is significant for a couple of reasons,” said Neil Peterson, ODA President. “A free, cross-platform STEP viewer, backed by a commitment from non-profit ODA, provides long-term security for end users. And for ODA it’s an important showcase of our emerging technology in the mechanical space.”

Availability and Pricing

Open STEP Viewer is available at no cost for personal and professional use at https://openstepviewer.com/.
