Check wall thickness in your 3D model
Use Modelyser to visualise the wall thickness of your STL, STEP or OBJ model. Red is thin, green is average and blue is thick.

No installation needed. Your model is processed locally and never uploaded to a server.
Dimensions and volume
Instantly see X, Y and Z dimensions, triangle count and estimated volume.
Orient for printing
Rotate and lay your model flat on a face so you can see how it sits on the build plate.
Check printability
Inspect overhangs and visualise wall thickness as a heatmap for better prints.
Measure inside the viewer
Click points, diameters or axes to measure distances accurately.
Hide parts
For multi-part models you control which parts are visible.
Why check wall thickness?
Walls that are too thin can sag or break during 3D printing. Checking wall thickness beforehand prevents failed prints and saves material.
Modelyser creates a heatmap based on the average thickness of your model. That way you see at a glance where the wall is too thin and where you could save material.
Your file stays yours
Modelyser runs entirely in your browser. Your model is not sent to a server and you do not need an account. Perfect for confidential designs or a quick check without installing software.

Wall thickness FAQ
How is the heatmap calculated?
The viewer calculates the distance to the opposite wall for each point. The average is shown in green, thinner spots in red and thicker spots in blue.
Can I see the thinnest spot?
Yes. After the analysis a marker appears on the thinnest spot of your model, including the corresponding thickness.
Which formats can I analyse?
All supported formats: STL, OBJ, STEP, 3MF, PLY and GLB. You can also hide parts to analyse only a specific section.
