contents Detector visualization plays a vital role in high energy physics (HEP) experiments, yet existing detector descriptions, such as GDML, lack compatibility with industrial 3D tools. We present an automated conversion framework that transforms four major HEP detector descriptions, including GDML, Geant4, ROOT and DD4hep, into standardized FBX models compatible with a industrial 3D platform called Unity. This solution enables HEP detectors to be directly visualized in the professional 3D ecosystem, which is of great help for detector design verification, event display development, and public participation.
