- 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.
- X3D (Extensible 3D) is a royalty-free open standard file format used to represent 3D computer graphics. It is used to store and interchange 3D model data, including surface geometry, color, animation, and metadata. X3D files are built on the XML standard, and can be viewed and edited with a variety of 3D modeling programs.
