PLM XML¶
PLM XML is an XML-based format defined by Siemens for exchanging structured product data in PLM environments. Unlike generic XML files, it follows a standardized schema with defined semantics for assemblies, metadata, configurations, and external representations — enabling interoperability across PLM systems.

Extensions¶
.plmxml
Structure¶
PLM XML encodes the complete assembly structure, including parts, hierarchies, and transformations, within the XML file. instant3Dhub preserves and interprets this structure independently of external geometry files.
Geometry¶
PLMXML is an XML-based assembly description which usually is used in conjunction with JT files. It does not contain any geometry but just a collection of nodes.
PMI & Model Views¶
PLM XML PMI and Model Views are supported by instant3Dhub.
Metadata¶
PLM XML metadata are supported by instant3Dhub.
