Multiple CAD Problem Solved by XVL Studio

Lattice Technology's ultra compressed XVL format reduces 3D CAD files into lightweight Web viewable documents that improve communication among company workers, partners and customers. Throughout the product life-cycle process, individuals can view, measure and annotate the XVL-compressed 3D files simply and quickly. XVL Studio brings improved tools for editing 3D data and improvements in the interface between measurement, dimensioning and annotation tools.

Overcome the multiple CAD problem

Very few companies use just one CAD system. There is always a need to efficiently and quickly incorporate data from both systems into one single file. With XVL Studio, workers can assemble models from different CAD systems and quickly create new XVL assemblies. XVL Studio allows users to share intelligent 3D content throughout a manufacturing company by using the Lattice's free XVL Player. Highly compressed 3D files can be viewed as an HTML, Microsoft Office or PDF documents.

"After the design department approves a model, the 3D data can be refined and repurposed for other disciplines," said Bill Barnes, general manager, Lattice Technology. "Instead of re-drawing complex 3D data in other systems, the data can now be used in animated assembly instructions, lightweight 3D drawings and technical illustrations and is a time and money saver in many global manufacturing operations,"
