XVL 3D
FROM LATTICE TECHNOLOGY
Transforming 3D Data into Real Solutions
Lattice Technology is a leader in technical communications for the manufacturing enterprise. It's powerful software tools that help engineers and non-engineers to simulate assembly processes and create work instructions or technical illustrations—directly from 3D engineering data.
Lattice Technology solutions use the XVL format to accurately compress 3D data so it can be used on any computer. XVL is a lightweight 3D file format for 3D computer graphics data.
What is XVL?
XVL is the most lightweight 3D format in the industry and is used by thousands of companies to enable rapid communication, production and collaboration by using 3D throughout the manufacturing supply chain. XVL delivers high compression - compressed to an average 0.5% of the original CAD assembly file size, with up to the same measurable accuracy of the original CAD system.
Introduction XVL
XVL can help by improving processes in any of these areas:
-
Planning the manufacturing assembly process
-
Validating and tuning the process using 3D simulation
-
Creating digital, interactive work instructions
-
Producing technical documentation
-
Providing an interactive spare parts catalog
Benefits of XVL Technology
-
Unmatched Compression: XVL® is the most lightweight 3D format in the industry and is used by thousands of companies to enable rapid communication, production and collaboration by using 3D throughout the manufacturing supply chain. XVL now enables data to be compressed to an average 0.5% of its original size with high accuracy - an industry-leading position that allows manufacturers to not have to compromise accuracy for 3D data size.
-
Unique Reuse of 3D Data: XVL applications including XVL Studio, Lattice3D Reporter and XVL Web Master allow for the highly compressed XVL 3D data to be reviewed, checked, annotated, simulated, animated and used for creating illustrations. XVL also supports 3D data in Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Office applications and Adobe Acrobat's PDF.
-
Neutral Support for All Major CAD formats: XVL applications are accompanied by a range of 3D CAD data converters that handle all major 3D CAD formats including: CATIA (V4/V5), I-deas NX, NX, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, CoCreate (PTC), Pro/ENGINEER - CREO - CREO Elements Direct, Mechanical Desktop, PDF, ParaSolid, IGES, STEP, JT, and DXF
-
XVL Integrates with Existing Manufacturing IT Infrastructures: XVL System Toolkit enables the rapid integration of 3D data into existing ERP, MES, PLM and PDM systems, enabling fast combination of data held within these disparate sources, and automated updates should activities occur such as Engineering Change Orders, etc.
