    The author derives explicit formulas for geometric objects of 3D Euclidean geometry using a special homogeneous conformal model of Euclidean space. Such parametrisations may play a role in computer based visualisations. Specifying a basis and two ideal elements, the origin and the line at infinity, explicit equations for pairs of points, lines, circles and spheres are given.
