Mayo is an open-source 3D CAD viewer and converter built with Qt and OpenCascade in modern C++. It visualizes CAD models with measurement, clipping, and assembly exploration tools, and converts between formats like STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, glTF, and DXF via GUI or CLI.

Use cases

  • view STEP and IGES CAD files on Linux
  • convert STL files to STEP format
  • measure lengths and angles in a 3D model
  • explode an assembly to inspect individual parts
  • batch-convert 3D files from the command line
  • preview glTF and OBJ meshes with clip planes
  • open DXF files without a full CAD suite

When to choose

  • you need a lightweight free CAD file viewer across Windows, Linux, and macOS
  • you want scriptable conversion between major 3D/CAD formats
  • you need measurement, clipping, or assembly exploration without a heavy CAD package

When to avoid

  • you need parametric modeling or CAD editing rather than viewing and converting
  • you require drawing/2D documentation generation
  • you need a web-based or embedded 3D viewer
