contents Zero-shot 3D anomaly detection aims to identify anomalies without access to training data from target categories. However, existing methods mainly rely on projecting 3D observations into multi-view representations that primarily capture geometric cues rather than realistic visual semantics and process them with vision encoders pretrained on RGB data, leading to a significant domain gap between the encoder and the projected representations. To address this issue, we propose Align3D-AD, a unified two-stage framework that leverages the RGB modality from auxiliary categories as cross-modal guidance for zero-shot 3D anomaly detection. First, we introduce a cross-modal feature alignment paradigm that maps rendering features into the RGB semantic space. Unlike prior works that implicitly rely on pretrained encoders, our method enables direct semantic transfer from RGB observations. A semantic consistency reweighting strategy is further introduced to refine feature alignment by reweighting local regions according to holistic semantic consistency. Second, we propose a modality-aware prompt learning framework with dual-prompt contrastive alignment. By assigning independent prompts to RGB-aligned and rendering features, our method captures complementary semantics across modalities, while the contrastive alignment further enhances prompt representations to improve discriminability. Extensive experiments on MVTec3D-AD, Eyecandies, and Real3D-AD demonstrate that Align3D-AD consistently outperforms existing zero-shot methods under both one-vs-rest and cross-dataset settings, highlighting its generalization capability and robustness. Code and the dataset will be made available once our paper is accepted.
