- Description
- XGL 3D CAD Models are computer-aided design (CAD) files used for creating 3D models for engineering, design, and manufacturing purposes. These files contain 3D geometry, views, and other information used to help design and create 3D models. They are used in CAD-based applications such as Autodesk Inventor and Solidworks.
- The Collada file format was developed to permit cross-platform collaboration when using different design applications. DAE is an open-source format that uses the XML-based schema allowing it to effectively transverse across multiple programs.
