XVL Player™ for Windows®

Interrogate 3D Models for Free

Download XVL Player for Windows to view and interrogate and 3D CAD model XVL Player is a free, downloadable 3D player for XVL® data which works using Internet Explorer® and Mozilla Firefox®.

XVL Player enables users to rapidly and easily visualize 3D in the very lightweight XVL format. XVL Player enables anyone to view, rotate, measure, and cross-section 3D XVL data. If animations are embedded in the file, XVL Player delivers full controls to view that data, plus assembly tree information. XVL Player allows users with lower specification PCs to quickly see complex 3D data and information without needing expensive hardware, software or lengthy training.

XVL Player is available as a free download, click the button to the left.

Key Benefits of  the FREE XVL Player for Viewing and Interrogating 3D CAD Models

  • Free viewer – Build productivity by allowing all users within your supply chain to quickly and easily use your 3D data assets regardless of location. Users can quickly and easily view and distribute XVL documents using the free XVL Player.
  • Comprehensive and easy-to-use – XVL Player’s intuitive user interface can be learned within minutes, allowing users to rapidly zoom, pan, rotate, interact with the 3D, play 3D XVL animations, perform interactive cross-sections, and support hot links and triggers.
  • No need for high-end hardware – XVL Player only requires a Windows operating system and Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox to be able to function. Combined with the very lightweight 3D XVL data, this means that users with lower specification hardware platforms can easily and rapidly view the data required to do their jobs.
  • Build productivity in a distributed supply chain – Customers have found concrete benefits for XVL Player across a distributed supply chain: Being able to view 3D XVL data freely and quickly reduces language barriers, builds accuracy in production, and eradicates errors in assembly. The small footprint of the XVL data means that it is far easier to send data across a network.
  • Handle large data sets – View very large 3D data assemblies on even the lowest specification PC and still have control of the display modes for even faster display of the data. XVL Player is designed to use very small amounts of memory and utilize the graphics display to their best advantage, leveraging the industry’s lightest 3D format.
  • Security – XVL Player works alongside the XVL Signer software to build superior password-protected security on XVL files.
