It contains meshes, textures, lighting effects, and other 3D object properties, making it an ideal format for 3D visualizations. 3DXML files are stored in a zip container which can contain XML data and proprietary data. The extension for 3DXML files is .3Dxml. This file format is used by CATIA V6 to store and share 3D models and designs.
In summary, 3D XML is a 3D data format created by Dassault Systèmes. The extension of 3DXML files is .3Dxml
