Web Toolkit

Web Toolkit

CAD Exchanger Web Toolkit is a set of JavaScript libraries to visualize, explore and analyze 3D CAD models. Unlike Autodesk Forge, Web Toolkit can be used to develop web applications running entirely on premise (i.e. inside a corporate network) without exposing any confidential data outside of the company.

Web Toolkit uses the three.js library to display 3D contents via WebGL on a client’s side.
​
In order to display any 3D file with the help of Web Toolkit, the contents must be first prepared by converting the original 3D file into a specific format called CDXWEB or CDXBIMWEB. Both of them are highly-compressed binary formats that allows efficient data transfer over networks to provide excellent application responsiveness and UX.
