The X3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) Working Group is happy to present a public Birds of a Feather (BOF) meeting at SIGGRAPH 2012.

  • From CAD to the Web, 1100-1230 Tuesday 7 August, LA Convention Center (LACC) Room 513
  • This session is for attendees interested in Web3D applications for CAD. Discussion topics include Web3D, STEP, B-REP, WebGL, and CAD data conversion.

Short presentations and cool demonstrations! (40 minutes)

  • Overview of CAD Working Group technical goals and major progress (Don, 1 minute)
    • CAD conversion tools for X3D are progressing well
    • NURBS can be used for deployment; B-REPS work continues for supporting lossless model conversions
    • Maturity indicator: we think that we can get every active X3D player to support CAD component
  • Review weekend highlights of Web3D Conference relevant to X3D CAD (Yvonne or Christophe, 5 minutes)
  • Recent work (2-3 minutes each)
  • Conclusions and next steps (Don, 4 minutes):
    • proper X3D NURBS support will be able to deploy CAD X3D on any device
    • direct B-REP Component might be a useful extension for X3D CAD Component conversion tools and servers, but would be a lot of work for X3D players
    • Further small enhancements to X3D CADinterchange profile (2D nodes, NURBS, lines) and X3D Compressed Binary Encoding (CBE) might help even further

Other announcements and group discussion (20 minutes)

  • Availability of other software and example models
  • People's reactions and group discussion
  • Hey, where is our logo?!
  • We will update this page to capture minutes from the meeting.

Working Group cochairs organizing this event:

  • Marc Petit (marc-f.petit@edf.fr)
  • Hyokwang Lee (adpc9@partdb.com)
  • Don Brutzman (brutzman@nps.edu)
