VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is a graphic modeling tool that is used for 3D representation of objects and animation of their behavior through WWW (World wide Web). Especially, VRML2.0 has such new functions as enhanced static worlds, interaction, animation, scripting, prototyping, etc. By full usage of these capability of VRML2.0, the goal of this research is to develop a software system to automatically generate the VRML2.0 code for demonstrating product shape, product configuration and assembly process with DXF files as input. SThe VRML code generated can be used to provide a product information through nay standard browser, Netscape, Explorer, etc., on WWW. Specifically three algorithms are presented: one for converting CAD to VRML, another for coverting BOM to VRML. and the third for generating animation VRML code.
