CATIA V6 (3D XML)

3DXML is an open-standard proprietary 3D file format developed and supported by Dassault Systemes. 3DXML files are typically created as exports from Dassault Systemes' 3DEXPERIENCE application. The 3DXML file is a zip archive file consisting of a BOM file and one or more 3D representations stored in either XML or binary format. Compact file size allows users to transfer 3D XML quickly and embed it into websites, emails, and various MS Office documents. Therefore, the format is commonly used to integrate 3D data into technical documentation.

BREP

A Brep file is a 3D model stored in the boundary representation (also known as B-rep). The Brep format is a part of Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT).

The Brep structure is made up of two major components:

topological components such as faces, vertices, and edges;
links between components such as surfaces, points, and curves.

It comprises three-dimensional data such as vertices, edges, wires, faces, shells, solids, compounds, edge and face triangulations, polylines on triangulations, space location, and orientation.

Everything you need to know about CAD file formats

A CAD file is an output of a CAD software, containing key information about the designed object: its geometry and topology representation, 3D model hierarchy, metadata, and visual attributes depending on the format of the file.

Debut of emerging product codenamed 'CAD Exchanger MTK', support of new versions of popular formats, reworked BIM model structure, and SDK documentation revision in 3.23.0

Read Autodesk Inventor and NX files written in the latest version, enjoy a more rigid BIM model structure, easily navigate through SDK documentation, take a closer look at Manufacturing Toolkit and its features.

How to use Docker image of CAD Exchanger SDK
