The Blender Foundation is a Dutch non-profit organization responsible for the development of Blender, a free and open-source 3D creation suite. Founded in 2002, the foundation has an international team working on the software.
Blender is a 3D creation suite that supports the entire 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation. It is available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public License.
The foundation’s goal is to give everyone the ability to create 3D graphics and animations regardless of their financial situation. That’s why the software is free to download and use.
The foundation also supports the development of the software with monthly donations from individuals and companies. These donations help pay for the team’s salaries, server costs, and other expenses.
If you’d like to support the foundation and the development of Blender, you can make a donation on their website.

Q: How do I view Blender files on Android?
A: There is no guaranteed way to view Blender files on Android, as the app is not designed for that specific purpose. However, there are a few potential methods that might work:
Use a file manager app to locate the Blender file on your device, then try opening it with a compatible app. For example, if the file is in .blend format, you might be able to open it with a 3D modeling app.
Connect your device to a computer and transfer the Blender file to the computer. Then, open the file with the Blender software on the computer.
Use an online file conversion service to convert the Blender file into a format that can be viewed on Android. For example, you could convert a .blend file into a .stl file, which can then be viewed with a 3D modeling app.
