Computer Aided Design (CAD) aids in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of model design,
with specialized support provided by the X3D CADGeometry component.
</p>
<p>
The Computer Aided Design (CAD) examples
illustrate simple concepts provided by the
<a href="https://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V4.0/Part01/components/CADGeometry.html" target="_blank">X3D CAD Geometry Component</a>
and
<a href="https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-IS/Part01/CADInterchange.html" target="_blank">CADInterchange Profile</a>.
Significant additional work is being pursued by the
<a href="https://www.web3d.org/working-groups/computer-aided-design-cad" target="_blank">X3D CAD Working Group</a>
and is documented on the
<a href="https://www.web3d.org/wiki/index.php/X3D_CAD" target="_blank">X3D CAD Working Group Wiki</a>.
