We list trade-offs explicitly. Browser-based + privacy-first means some features that need a server (cloud sync, named-account workflows) won't ship here.

Frequently asked

We compiled a Rust CAD kernel (forked from Formlabs Foxtrot, Apache/MIT) into WebAssembly. Your browser loads the kernel once, then parses STEP files locally. The file never leaves your device.

AP203 and AP214 are the strongest paths today. Many AP242 files also parse since AP242 is a superset of AP214. The Foxtrot kernel handles 26 entity types covering most mechanical-part geometry.

Most likely the file uses surface types our kernel doesn't yet handle (spun surfaces, offset surfaces, swept surfaces). The viewer surfaces a clear error message. We're widening entity coverage incrementally.

No. Loft Tools is an independent project. We vendor Formlabs Foxtrot's STEP parser under its Apache/MIT licence.

DXF is on the way. IGES and DWG aren't browser-native — convert upstream to STEP. ODB++ is a roadmap item.
