VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) was standardized as ISO 14772 in 1994. It stores polygon meshes with color, UV coordinates, lights, cameras and basic animation. Its XML-based successor X3D is the current ISO standard. VRML remains in use in industrial visualization for color-coded CAD models.
Engineers export VRML to share color-coded CAD models (FEA stress maps, heat maps) with colleagues without CAD software.
Many PDM and PLM systems support VRML as a lightweight review format.
VRML is used in finite element analysis, medical imaging and geographic information systems.
