The software is focused on :

• Realtime 3D viewer for STL models
• Browsing & Organizing a (huge) collection of STL models
• STL model editing tools : cut by plane
• STL model creating tools : shape generation (miniature base, storage box for game board)
• Available on Linux, Windows, and soon Mac OS
