MeshVault is a local-first 3D model library manager designed to help users organize, preview, and manage collections of 3D models across multiple platforms. It addresses the challenge of keeping 3D model files organized and accessible, especially for those who frequently download, import, or share models for purposes such as 3D printing. The tool is intended for users who collect models from various sources and want to maintain context and metadata with each file, avoiding the confusion of unorganized downloads and mystery files.
The platform offers a suite of applications and integrations, including desktop apps for Windows and Linux, a free ad-free Android companion app, browser extensions for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, and dedicated server builds for networked libraries. MeshVault enables users to capture downloads directly from supported model sites into the library, preserving details such as titles, authors, tags, source links, descriptions, and images. This workflow is designed to streamline model collection without manual cataloging. The desktop app provides searchable, previewable libraries with features like folder navigation, collections, thumbnails, metadata management, and the ability to send files to slicers. The model viewer supports formats including STL, OBJ, 3MF, STEP/STP, GLB/GLTF, PLY, and G-code, with tools for previewing, measuring, inspecting, and capturing renders.
MeshVault also supports importing loose files, folders, and archive packages, generating thumbnails and distinct model views for supported formats. The Android companion app mirrors much of the desktop functionality, offering structured local storage, browsing, and downloading, as well as a local web server for sharing files over Wi-Fi without relying on cloud services. This setup allows users to manage their libraries on PCs, portable drives, or local servers, with all components designed to work together around a single library.
To use the desktop app and dedicated server builds, a MeshVault license key is required. The license key can be purchased directly, and the Windows app can also be unlocked through the Microsoft Store. The Android companion app is free and can act as an unlock source for connected MeshVault apps and servers.
