If I could view stl files like this on my future sailfish phone that would be quite handy. That way once I start getting into 3d design I can store the files on my phone and have several versions of a model for 3d printing or CNCing that I can just show a customer on my phone right there or even carry around a portfolio of 3d projects.
There are some free 3d file viewers on windows, I'm wondering if they could be ported. There are also several 3d file formats. Just a viewer that can show dimensions and zoom.
Would be a good feature for a phone with a big screen for guys that do 3d printing and cad design models. I'm thinking the future phones will have the muscle for it.
Or it can go the other way to from customer to machinist, you know like getting an email with a 3d file attachment from your sign designer client and you're out somewhere buying tools or stock and you open the file and now you know you need to pick up some other stock instead of having to go back to the office and open the file on your pc at which point you realize you should have picked up some acrylic or whatever.
