A browser-based 3D file viewer that opens STL and several related formats, then reports dimensions, triangle and vertex counts, surface area, volume, and watertightness.

Why it surfaced

STLBench goes beyond displaying a model: its watertightness check counts edges used by only one triangle, the precise sort of defect that can make a slicer complain. It also reads files in the browser without uploading them, and includes viewers and conversion tools for formats including OBJ, PLY, 3MF, GLB, glTF, FBX, STEP, and DXF.
