Tool to view contents of 3MF? (Show materials) #28

Is there a tool (I would need one for windows), which lets you view the contents of a 3MF?
There are plenty of 3MF viewers online but I cannot be 100% sure that they show ALL the metadata in the file - ie they seem to mostly be geared towards viewing the geometry.
The reason that I ask is that I suspect that Fusion360 is not outputting the Material when it outputs a 3MF file. Ideally, any 3MF that Fusion exports should store, for each body, the name of the material that is assigned to that body.
Seeing as 3MF is a binary file format though, I cannot easily delve into the 3MFs that I am exporting to find out.

Furthermore, in this repo, it is unclear what each of the examples actually is. For example, I assume that examples/material folder contains examples of 3MF files with material data? If it were clear exactly what each example is an example of, then I could, for example, download an example which has multiple materials in it, and load it into an online viewer and see if it shows the materials correctly. If it does, I could then load in one of my files to have more confidence as to whether or not it is actually outputting materials.
