About Dassault Systemes 3DXML Format

3DXML is a proprietary 3D file format developed by Dassault Systemes under its 3DVIA brand, which is focused on the development of 3D authoring, publishing, and hosting tools for professional and consumer markets.

Description of the 3DXML file

It uses an XML wrapper whose specifications were published at the time and have nothing to do with X3D, the ISO standard XML-based file format for rendering 3D computer graphics.

The 3DXML file contains meshes, textures, lighting effects, and other properties of 3D objects and is used to specify a 3D object based on XML text.

The 3DXML format was created to incorporate 3D information into technical documentation, user manuals, marketing materials, websites, and other software applications.

Dassault Systemes published the 3DXML file format specification, from the beginning, to be an open format.
