Convert Your SCAD CAD Files to X3D

Our free and fast tool will convert most SCAD (OpenSCAD) CAD files to a standard X3D (Extensible 3D Graphics) 3D model file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages such as Blender or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple SCAD files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

To convert your SCAD file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a X3D file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the SCAD to X3D conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

Description

The OpenSCAD file format, or SCAD, is the native file format of the popular free CAD software OpenSCAD used for creating 3D CAD models. The SCAD software is still in active development, with new features being added with each version.

SCAD files are text-based files containing scripts that allow the designer to describe the CAD model programmatically. SCAD files are then compiled to produce the final 3D render.

SCAD Notes

SCAD files, when imported, will be converted to 3D geometry comprising vertices and faces. If the SCAD file contains color information, this will be converted where possible.

Supported Features

  • Mesh colors

Description

The X3D file format was introduced in 2002 as a successor to the 3D VRML (WRL) file format. X3D files contain 3D mesh and model information defined using vertices, faces, normals, and material data, making them broadly as capable as the older VRML format.

X3D files are structured XML text-based files that allow full 3D scenes to contain models comprised of 3D mesh data and other simple shapes. There are browser extensions that allow X3D files to be directly embedded within HTML to allow rendering directly to a web page; however, the format has not seen widespread adoption.

X3D Notes

X3D files support material and color information. If your uploaded model contains color information, our tool will attempt to save this in the X3D file at the end of the conversion process. Texture information is not supported at this time.

Supported Features

  • Mesh geometry
  • Mesh material colors
  • Vertex colors

Unsupported Features

  • Textures
