RP Viewer

RP Viewer is a simple and approachable application that gives you the possibility to open and view STL (Stereo Lithography) and RP (Rapid Prototyping) files in a user-friendly environment. It contains some basic customization options.

The setup operation is quick and shouldn't give you any trouble. RP Viewer is wrapped in an outdated interface made from a classical window, where you can open STL and RP files via the file browser or drag-and-drop support.

It's possible to zoom in and out of the image, preview it for printing, orbit or pan, as well as view the drawing as solid, solid with features or wireframe, wireframe, points, orthographic or perspective projection.

When it comes to program options, you can customize colors for the front face, back face, edge, light and background, set the default projection and model modes, as well as adjust the transparency level.

Settings can be restored to their factory configuration with one click. Apart from the fact that you can hide the toolbar and status bar, there are no other notable options provided by this piece of software.

The tool didn't put a strain on the overall performance of the computer, thanks to the fact that it needed low CPU and RAM to work properly. It had a good response time to user commands and didn't cause the operating system to hang, crash or display error messages.

On the other hand, the app hasn't been updated for a long time. Although it doesn't integrate rich features and configuration settings, RP Viewer delivers a simple and effective solution to viewing STL and RP files.
