X3D CAD Working Group

The X3D CAD Working Group is now entering its third generation of development effort.

Our current activities include:

  • Consolidating 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

Events and Meetings

We hold teleconferences every other week at alternating times for Korea-USA and Korea-Europe discussion.

  • Korea-USA : 17:00 PDT 2nd Wednesday (09:00 KST 2nd Thursday)
    • Next meeting : Oct 12 Wed 17:00 PDT (Thu 09:00 KST)
  • Korea-Europe : 10:00 FST 4th Monday (17:00 KST 4th Monday)


Several Web3D presentations at SIGGRAPH 2011 covered CAD topics.

Next Steps and Future Work

  • Update this wiki to include all aspects of a working group charter
  • Move the wiki to Web3D Public wiki - last call for any objections!
  • Design a cool logo, both in 2D and 3D! A special prize will be awarded to whoever wins working-group approval for their design.
