How can we convert a 3DXML or CADPART into a HTML format
I want to display a CAD PART into a web browser. How can we convert the cad data into a HTML format for displaying in the web browser.

HTML itself doesn’t directly support 3D but you can always just make 2D graphic images of the CAD file for display. JPG, PNG, GIF are 3 types that are supported.
For true 3D display, start by reading this good article:

One of their recommendations is to use GrabCAD to share the 3d model since it can used without an account or logging in.
Another alternative is to convert the CAD file to X3D or its predecessor VRML. I believe most browsers can view these types of files. There are several file converters available.
