Tatlin is a multi-platform 3D inspector for G-code and STL files.
Using Tatlin, you can visualize, inspect and tweak your designs before and during the printing or machining processes. Taking advantage of hardware acceleration, the app efficiently renders complex models even on older systems. Designed for makers and hobbyists, Tatlin aims to provide a fast, portable and intuitive way to visualize and examine models and machine instructions with a minimal learning curve.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Format compatibility: In addition to G-code, Tatlin supports loading STL files allowing you to view sliced models and raw 3D designs.
- Interactive 3D visualization: Allows you to rotate, zoom, and pan around the models for detailed inspection.
- Layer-by-layer analysis: For G-code files, Tatlin provides a layer-by-layer breakdown to identify potential issues in slicing or toolpath generation.
- Simple STL editing: Tatlin allows you to scale, rotate and move STL models.
- Beginner-friendly interface: Tatlin aims to be accessible to beginners and seasoned 3D modeling professionals alike.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
