X3D CAD Working Group

The X3D CAD Working Group is now pursuing its third generation of development efforts. Following many years of steady progress by Web3D members, we transitioned our efforts to the Web3D Public X3D Wiki in 2011. Further productive work continues steadily, summarized in the CAD Working Group Executive Summary and guided by the CAD Working Group Strategy.

Our current activities include:

  • New. Collecting requirements, assessing capabilities and proposing a new X3D Profile for 3D Printing and 3D Scanning.
  • Consolidating, reporting and linking past achievements with CAD Geometry Component in X3D
  • Continuing implementation of the X3D Compressed Binary Encoding (CBE) for reduced file size and faster loading performance
  • Continuing the implementation and evaluation of Boundary Representations (B-REPS) in X3D
  • Considering the use of Macro-Parametric Translation for conversion of many CAD formats into X3D
  • Building a set of example models to confirm correct operation and encourage the evolution of best practices

Working group co-chairs are:

Please check out the X3D CAD People page where we summarize our interests. New participants are welcome.
