OCCT conversion workflows

XPDMXML to glTF / GLB

Convert XPDMXML to glTF / GLB through a mesh workflow. Prepare geometry, map supported data and validate the result in the receiving application.

Build this conversion into your application with OCCT readers, writers and the commercial components identified below.

Prepare XPDMXML geometry for glTF / GLB

The XPDMXML-to-glTF / GLB route uses the XPDMXML reader, mesh preparation and the glTF / GLB writer. Choose the geometry and representation required by the destination application.

Read the XPDMXML product data through its interface and resolve the geometry required by the selected model items. Keep referenced model resources available; product structure without its geometric content cannot supply an export mesh.

Prepare a scene for glTF or GLB delivery

Prepare meshes for the resolved shapes, keeping part occurrences and their placements consistent. Use suitable source meshes directly or tessellate BRep surfaces at the required detail.

Map supported model items into glTF scene nodes and configure the mesh, placements and appearance for browser or application delivery. Decide whether the receiving workflow expects a GLB package or glTF with companion resources. Keep names useful for selection and inspection.

Validate the converted model

Check geometry completeness and reference resolution before judging the output. Product identifiers, revisions and other management data need an explicit destination mapping or a separate retained record.

Reopen the asset in the target viewer and compare orientation, bounds, assembly placement and visible surface quality. Check material mapping and resource paths. Measure loading cost together with geometric detail so that reducing mesh size does not silently remove required features.

For repeated jobs, retain the source, preparation settings and representative output checks. Discuss this conversion with the input files, destination application and required geometry and attributes.

Conversion integration

Build a XPDMXML to glTF / GLB workflow

Share the source and receiving applications, representative files, required attributes and throughput. We can scope SDK evaluation or an integrated conversion service.
