Products can be previewed to the customers with 2D still images through the web site. Even a 2D still image can show many detailed factors, it has limit in describing real 3D product. Thus providing 3D CAD model through web site will be very effective in delivering product information to the customers. This study suggests a methodology to process web-based 3D product simulation. First 3D CAD model was constructed and converted to VRML. And then to maximize reality, data of texture and material information were mapped on the surfaces of 3D product. Every commercial product has its own functions and we applied those functions which are expressed as event to the converted 3D model. Finally 3D CAD model was published to web by HTML and JAVA. Examples are given and discussed to validate the proposed methodology.
