Software protects engineering intellectual property.
Press Release Summary:
Available as standalone module and as part of XVL System Toolkit, XVL Reducer reduces size of 3D data by intelligent reduction of stored geometry. All internal features of model are removed, leaving only outside skin for use with catalogs and other sales and marketing materials. XVL processor manages input/output of property information, while XVL Filter provides automation and batch operation on XVL files.
Original Press Release:
Lattice Technology Announces XVL Reducer for Protecting Engineering IP
Software reduces the size of 3D data, maintaining accuracy and protecting intellectual property
San Francisco, CA, November 15, 2006 - Lattice Technology, Inc., developers of the ultra-compressed XVL 3D format and industry leading 3D Publishing applications, today announced XVL Reducer. This product is an innovative software module created to protect companies' engineering Intellectual Property and further reduce the size of XVL models by automatically removing features of 3D models prior to them being shared or published. XVL Reducer is sold both as a stand-alone module and as part of Lattice Technology's XVL System Toolkit.
XVL Reducer is capable of automatically removing certain structural features from within a 3D Part or Assembly, allowing companies to protect intellectual property that can often be inadvertently revealed by sharing 3D data with suppliers and others outside their company. XVL Reducer can further reduce the size of XVL data by intelligent reduction of the stored geometry. A typical use of Reducer would be to remove all internal features of a model, leaving only the outside skin, for use with catalogs and other sales and marketing materials. With this additional feature reduction, it is possible to reduce the data size to more than half the original XVL file and still maintain a useful, usable, and accurate representation. XVL Reducer's flexible options allow this to be done in an automated batch environment.
"XVL Reducer reduces the size of the data while maintaining the accuracy and protecting companies' intellectual property by managing data sent to suppliers and others outside of their company," said Bill Barnes, general manager, Lattice Technology. "XVL Reducer is just an example of our proactive approach; we are determined to create products that help the overall manufacturing enterprise."
XVL Reducer is available as an individual module and also within Lattice's XVL System Toolkit. The software toolkit enables batch processes to be applied to XVL 3D data. In addition to Reducer, there are two additional modules, the XVL processor to manage input and output of property information, and XVL Filter to provide automation and batch operation on XVL files.
Lattice Technology's XVL System Toolkit offers an extensive set of processing functions in command line format; it can be easily employed for server-based solutions to process large amounts of 3D data. The XVL System Toolkit is designed for manufacturing corporations, where effective use of 3D data is a business matter. Lattice Technology provides user with solutions for the batch processing of 3D data and systems integration necessary to automate processes.
XVL Reducer is available as an individual package for $12.5K, or within Lattice's XVL System Toolkit, for $30K.
