There is now a new project hosted on GitHub: A simple CAD viewer, based on X3DOM. In fact, this example application has already been around for quite some time as part of the X3DOM examples.

This application could serve as a basis for your own CAD projects. So, if you like to try it out, and if you maybe even want to help to improve the application, check out the GitHub project here!

As announced during the Web3D conference, the X3DOM team is happy to announce the launch of an open-source component editor project, which is now being hosted on GitHub. The component editor is based on X3DOM, and it shows how to create a  simple Web-based editor with X3DOM and jQuery.

Current Features include:

• Alignment tool for primitives, using reference points / reference vectors
• Snapping data to grid during editing
• Support for different units (meters, centimeters, inches, …)
• Exchangeable UI styles
• Import / Export using JSON

If you are interested, feel free to check it out, or even to contribute to this project!
