Lattice aims software at digital manufacturing

Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Nov 21, 2008

Lattice Technology has announced that it has released three packages of its XVL software targeted at digital manufacturing functions.

The packages focus on streamlining the way engineers in manufacturing industries can perform digital mock-up, process documentation and animation, create interactive 3D parts lists and convincing illustrations direct from 3D data without requiring anybody to move from their existing 3D Cad, ERP or PLM platform.

The three packages combine existing XVL software tools and deliver immediate savings through discounts on package pricing over separate product list prices.

Users of the XVL solutions report productivity improvements such as a 60 per cent decrease in lead time for product development and more than a 90 per cent reduction in modification rates on the design data.

Access, sharing, simulation and animation of huge assemblies becomes easy with the highly accurate XVL lightweight format.

And the creation of manufacturing documentation such as process instructions, assembly animations and illustrations for print and web are a simple part of the process.

Digital Mockup Package allows users to rapidly create very accurate digital mock-ups of product designs direct from 3D data, while being able to validate, review, check, animate and simulate the assembly in XVL Studio.

Users benefit from automated reporting of interferences and clearances on Excel spreadsheets and automated disassembly/assembly functions for design.

Users can add in a 3D Cad Converter of their choice and the first year maintenance covered, with the Lattice Technology Digital Mockup package.

Buyers can receive up to 20 per cent off list prices of the software solutions.

The Lattice Technology Process Animation and Parts List bundle saves users time and money, while building productivity and efficiency into a process.

This bundle delivers XVL Studio Standard, a plug-in XVL Converter of the user's choice and Lattice3D Reporter.

These tools bring streamlined functionality for engineers to rapidly animate and simulate moving 3D parts on a design, edit an assembly structure and automatically define steps for production.

Users can transfer their 3D data and documentation into interactive 3D parts list in Excel spreadsheets and share interactive 3D BOMs with your team members, departments and suppliers.

Buyers can receive up to 14 per cent in discounted savings for the package deal.

With the Illustration Package, users can save money and time by creating realistic, stunning 2D illustrations directly from 3D data with Lattice Technology's Illustration bundle.

The Illustration bundle delivers XVL Studio Basic, a choice of one plug-in converter and the Illustration upgrade for XVL Studio.

This package allows users to seamlessly convert their 3D Cad data into XVL Studio and rapidly and efficiently create and save 2D illustrations in .CSV, EPS and more.

A 10 per cent saving is available for package pricing.

Customers can benefit from as much as a 20 per cent discount on Lattice Technology's packages for illustration, process documentation and 3D Part lists, and digital mock-up, simply by signing up for a demonstration.
