3D Send is a solution for sending and previewing large models between users across the internet. The technology has been developed by 3D Repo using the viewer API and is available to purchase as a standalone platform solution.

Users can upload their model files to the platform and send them to anyone. Once received, models can be previewed right from the web browser or downloaded to use with your favourite tools.

Models are stored safely on the platform for 14 days. *Please note, it may take a few minutes for your models to process before you can view them in the browser.
