3D modeling is one of the main technologies in virtual factory. A satisfying visualization of 3D virtual factory enables workers, engineers, and managers to have a straightforward view of plant layout. It could facilitate and optimize the further planning of manufacturing facilities and systems. Traditionally, a 3D representation of manufacturing facilities and equipment is performed by utilizing CAD modeling. However, this process would be considerably time-consuming when it comes to the 3D modeling of manufacturing surroundings and the environment in the entire factory. Nowadays, with the development of 3D laser scanner, using scanning technology to obtain the digital replica of objects is becoming the new trend. The scanning result – point cloud data has been widely used in various fields for 3Dvisualization, modeling, and analysis. Therefore, hybrid modeling of CAD and laser scan data provide a rapid and effective method for 3D factory layout visualization. Since visualization of 3D models is no longer limited to desktop-based solutions but has become available over the web browser powered by web graphic library (WebGL), in this paper, we proposed a systematic and sustainable workflow based on the DTX-Solutions© systems engineering integrated approach to generate and visualize hybrid 3D factory layout where the point cloud model is combined with CAD objects of new manufacturing equipment on a web-based DTXSolutions© library. DTX-Solutions© systems approach supremely minimizes the visualization requirements and dependencies as well as benefits industrial companies to demonstrate and share the internal visual information with external contractors and customers. Furthermore, it provides the possibility to improve the digital factory information over the web. Additionally, one case study has been implemented as the application and demonstration of the proposed workflow associated with the detailed technical pipeline. At last, in the long term of converting the raw point cloud data to web rendering formats, a converting tool with a python-based graphic user interface (GUI) has been developed.
