Convert 3DXML to another file type
To convert 3DXML 3D models to another format, you need CATIA or other 3D software.
Convert a file to 3DXML
To convert other file formats to the "3D XML Model File" file type, you need software like CATIA or a similar tool.
About 3DXML files
The .3DXML file is a proprietary 3D model format developed by Dassault Systèmes. It is heavily used in enterprise Product Lifecycle Management to share lightweight 3D graphics across teams. These files are typically generated by heavy-duty industrial software like CATIA or the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. While useful for viewing complex assemblies, the .3DXML format has major disadvantages. It is proprietary, heavily tied to the Dassault ecosystem, and notoriously difficult to open without their official viewing tools. Standard 3D software and web browsers cannot read it natively. Furthermore, because it often contains tessellated polygonal data rather than exact mathematical surfaces, editing the geometry later is severely limited. If you need to edit the model in standard CAD software, you must convert it. The best target formats are STEP or IGES for parametric data, or STL and OBJ for mesh viewing and 3D printing. However, converting .3DXML is challenging. Often, only the original Dassault software can properly read or export the exact 3D data. Just drag and drop your file onto convert.guru to see what it is. We can identify the file format, inspect the internal structure, and show the embedded XML text or internal contents. If our analysis detects supported underlying formats like standard meshes, viewing or conversion to STL or OBJ may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your 3DXML file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert 3DXML file to STEP, STL, CATPART, STP, JT, OBJ, SLDPRT, PDF, FBX, DAE, 3DS or MAX, you can use CATIA or similar software from the "3D Product Lifecycle Management" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DWG, DAE, X3D, IGES, WRL, JT, SKP, 3DS, 3DM, OBJ, STEP or FBX files to 3DXML, try CATIA or another comparable tool in the "3D Product Lifecycle Management" category.
The 3DXML Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our 3DXML converter.
