The process of craft file design and management, which varies a lot in different areas and enterprises, is the most important part of design process in Small and Middle-sized Manufacturing Enterprises (SMMEs). The Design and Management System of such processes is required to be highly customized due to their complexity and lack of flexibility. In this paper, we presented a simple SMMEs oriented Craft File Design and Management system based on Web3D&X3D, Apache, MySQL and PHP (WAMP), which are free and open source. The system is B/S structured and focuses on the 3D design file sharing on web, craft file distributing and collaboration according to specified process. The system is deployed in our cooperating company and proved to be able to lower design costs and improve efficiency.
