Full Preview
SEE THE MODEL, NOT JUST THE FILENAME
Explore STL, OBJ, PLY, AMF, 3MF, USDZ and STEP models in full-screen 3D with orbit and zoom, plus G-code toolpaths. Each format gets the preview that fits it.
File Passport
KNOW WHAT’S INSIDE
Open a File Passport for 3MF, STEP and G-code files: plate names, object counts, dimensions, filaments and print-time details when the file includes them.
Send to Slicer
DYNAMIC SLICER DETECTION
HEXOstudios detects the slicers installed on your Mac and sends supported files in one click, checking that the slicer can open the format first. Add or hide slicers in Settings.
Project Queue
KEEP TODAY’S WORK WITHIN REACH
Pull the files you’re working on into Project Queue without moving them in your library. Send them to your slicer one after another, and see which ones are sent.
Library Health
KEEP A GIANT LIBRARY UNDER CONTROL
Scan your whole library for duplicate entries and oversized files, and remove them from your library in a click. Health also reports library size, cache size and external-drive reachability, with a Rescan.
Visual Export
YOUR FILES STAY VISUAL AFTER EXPORT
Export to a new or existing folder, or as a ZIP. Supported models carry their HEXO-rendered thumbnails with them, so your files stay recognizable in Finder — even unzipped on another Mac.
HEXOforge
CONVERT WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR LIBRARY
Send STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF or AMF files from your library to HEXOforge and get a clean STL, OBJ or PLY back. Local on your Mac. No internet, no credits.
Multi-Plate
ONE FILE. EVERY PLATE ACCOUNTED FOR
HEXOstudios recognizes multi-plate 3MF files and shows the plate count right on the file card. Step through each plate in the 3D preview, with plate names and object counts in File Passport.
