DWG to VRML Conversion
Exporting DWG drawings to VRML is easier than ever - just follow our simple 3-step process:
Install Automesher Application
Export VRML files directly from DWG drawings using Automesher Application - simply install the plugin and restart your CAD software.
Execute VRML Export
Enter AmExportMesh in the command line. Then, select the 3D entities (e.g., Polyface Mesh, Polygon Mesh, 3D Solid, or 3D Face) from your DWG model space that you want to export.
Save as VRML File
Select VRML (*.wrl, *.vrml) as file type, choose the destination folder and file name, then click Save to complete the export.

What is a DWG File? (AutoCAD 2D/3D CAD Drawing Explained)
The DWG file format is a proprietary binary format developed by Autodesk for storing 2D drawings and 3D models in CAD (Computer-Aided Design) workflows. As the native format for AutoCAD, DWG files are widely recognized as the industry standard across architecture, engineering, and construction sectors for their precision, flexibility, and cross-platform compatibility.
Key Features of DWG Files
- Broad Compatibility: DWG files work seamlessly with popular CAD programs like AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD, and IntelliCAD, ensuring easy sharing and collaboration across different software environments.
- High-Precision Vector Data: DWG files store exact vector-based 2D graphics, 3D models, and rich metadata, making them ideal for detailed blueprints, architectural designs, and complex engineering projects.
- Efficient Use of Blocks: DWG drawings support reusable "blocks" - predefined components like symbols or templates - that help streamline design workflows, ensure consistency, and reduce file sizes.

VRML File - Virtual Reality Modeling Language (.WRL)
VRML (.wrl and .vrml files) are text-based 3D file formats used to describe interactive virtual environments and 3D objects. Often called the "HTML of 3D", VRML specifies how shapes, materials, lighting, textures, and even animations are displayed in virtual spaces. Originally designed for web-based 3D content, VRML can still be opened in compatible 3D software or browser plugins, and remains relevant in legacy and educational applications.
Key Features of VRML/WRL Files
- 3D Geometry Support: Defines primitive shapes (boxes, spheres, cones) and complex polygonal meshes.
- Visual Appearance: Includes color, texture, transparency, material properties, and lighting effects.
- Scene Graph Hierarchy: Organizes 3D elements using a structured node-based architecture for animations and interactions.
- X3D Compatibility: VRML became an ISO standard in 1997 and served as the foundation for X3D, its modern XML-based successor.
Convert VRML (.WRL) to Other 3D Formats
With our advanced Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can easily convert VRML/WRL files to STL, OBJ, PLY, FBX, STEP, and other popular 3D formats. Whether you are migrating legacy 3D assets or preparing models for 3D printing, animation, or CAD workflows, our VRML file converters ensure accuracy and compatibility across platforms.
Transform outdated VRML files into modern 3D formats effortlessly - streamline your pipeline and unlock new possibilities for interactive and professional 3D projects today.
