File format information for SCAD and X3D

Extension	SCAD
Full Name	OpenSCAD
Type	CAD
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Text

A SCAD file is a modern format used for storing 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) data and is the native file format for the OpenSCAD application. The SCAD file format stores the CAD data in the form of scripts, allowing users to modify the properties of objects quite easily by modifying the various scripted parameters.

The script contained within a SCAD file enables the creation of basic shapes such as cubes, cylinders, spheres, and other more complex shapes by using special commands to merge shapes. As this is a scripted format and is designed to be manually edited, a SCAD file stores this script in human-readable plain text format.

Support for SCAD files is largely limited to the OpenSCAD software, though there are other CAD applications that support the format. Our own SCAD converter tools can convert SCAD files to other 3D model formats, such as STL.

Extension	X3D
Full Name	Extensible 3D Graphics
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	model/x3d+xml
Format	Text
Opens With	Blender, MeshLab

The X3D format is similar to the older WRL 3D modeling format, updated with more features and using a more modern XML file structure. It is designed for describing website virtual worlds.

As it was designed to be the successor to the WRL format, the X3D format supports most of the same capabilities, such as 3D mesh definitions via elements such as the IndexedFaceSet, which comprises geometrical vertices, faces, normals, texture coordinates, and more.

Due to the use of XML to store 3D information, files can grow quite large with complex 3D models. Support for X3D has been mixed, with some 3D editing applications building in access to the format and others mostly ignoring it in favor of other formats such as FBX and GLB.
