X3D CAD People

X3D CAD working group members: please add short-summary descriptions of your interests in X3D CAD efforts.

My interests in X3D are three fold 1. enabler to bridge the "air gap" between the CAD flowing in products' supply chain and the CAD-less consumer chain 2. enabler to bridge the "intellectual gap" between 'patients' and healthcare providers via anthropomorphic interface to health states: past, present and planned 3. catalyst to the DoD perennial challenge of enterprise wide modeling and simulation composition

Marc Petit

• Electricite de France (EDF)

My main interest is integration of 3D into the Information System. When industrial installations (like power plants) are concerned, CAD is interesting beacuse it allows :

• Reduced network footprint (higher-level primitives)

• Consistency with the IS (structure, identification of parts)

For CAD, I mostly see X3D as a presentation format. I'd be glad to see it cover interchange too, but presentation can bring high rewards rather fast while staying focused.
