The 3DXML file extension is associated with a 3D XML format used in various software developed by Dassault Systemes. The 3D XML format is an application of the XML language to 3D objects and it stores the data related to the coordinates, topology, geometry, materials and colors of 3D models. The 3D models are embedded in an XML document. This type of file is used for interchange data between different applications which supports 3D modeling as an integrated part of their functions.
Technical Details
The 3DXML format is a collection of elements based on the standardised XML schema and tags and is derived from its own representation of 3D objects. It contains attributes, version, initial camera details, background color properties and 3D components such as meshes, polygons, splines, curves and modifiers. It can also store properties about visible materials, which can include textures, audio files and other related information about the materials that are used. The file can support a broad range of geometry types like wireframe surfaces, solids, textured meshes and nurbs surfaces.
It can be exported or imported in a variety of different file formats including .3ds, .fbx, .stl, .obj, ied and .cgr. Although it is widely used for exchanging data between applications compatible with 3D Modeling, it is not suitable for CAD programs.

Programs for LINUX system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .3DXML) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .3DXML extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .3DXML file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .3DXML extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .3DXML extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .3DXML file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .3DXML file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .3DXML file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .3DXML file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .3DXML file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
