Software Solutions deliver 3D publishing capabilities.
Press Release Summary:
Lattice3D Studio, Notebook, and Web Master enable users to manipulate, collaborate, and publish large (100 MB to 10 GB) 3D designs. Solutions use XVL 6.0 technology to compress file sizes without loss of detail and data as well as create interactive 3D documents directly from CAD drawings. Features include auto-update links, integration with Studio authoring capabilities, and memory handling capabilities that make 3D models accessible on laptops and desktops.
Original Press Release:
LATTICE3D Releases Unrivaled 3D Publishing Capabilities With New Ease-of-Use Products
Publishing Applications give Unprecedented Ability to Quickly Display and Publish Large 3D Data in Manuals, Documents, and Catalogs With High Fidelity Compression
Los Altos, Calif., April 29, 2004 - LATTICE3D., a leader in enterprise-wide use of 3D data, today unveiled its newest versions of its publishing applications, including a breakthrough in the ability to collaborate, share, and publish large (100 Mbyte 10 Gbyte) complex 3D designs for immediate use throughout the enterprise.
With these new releases, users can rapidly publish 2D/3D manuals, documents and catalogs that are easily shared both online or offline. In addition, 3D models that previously could only be used on large workstations, and were slow to manipulate, are now extremely fast and accessible to laptops and desktops, even over low-bandwidth connections.
"The richness and robustness of Lattice3Ds new 3D publishing applications will allow users to finally realize the dream of seamlessly leveraging their 3D data in downstream publishing applications", said David Burdick, president of PLM consulting firm Collaborative Visions. "The utilization of Lattice3Ds high fidelity 3D compression technology along with its versatility to plug into Adobe PDF, Microsoft Office, and HTML formats, makes it a natural choice for users seeking to develop high impact 3D documents."
All Lattice3D products now use the companys new XVL 6.0 technology to substantially compress file sizes without loss of detail and data. Lattice3Ds Studio, Notebook and Web Master products have been enhanced to make it even easier to use, manipulate and publish massive data. The upgraded product features include:
- Auto-update: dynamic links that automatically update published information and post it to the web when underlying data is updated or changed
- Tighter integration with Studio authoring capabilities: for example intuitive, drag-and-drop process planning means users can create step-by-step instruction manuals very rapidly
- Improved memory handling: means extremely large data, once compressed into XVL, can be easily used with normal office laptop and desktop systems.
LATTICE3D's award-winning XVL-based technologies are used by major automotive, manufacturing, architecture and aerospace companies worldwide to take data directly from engineering and convert and compress 3D images into an XVL file. This data can now easily be used in multiple business operations including sales and marketing, customer service, technical publications, technical illustrations, procurement, and training. XVL has streamlined the compression of very large data and the usage of computer memory so that end-users are able to use models that were originally 40-50 times larger, without loss of detail. The Lattice3D applications include the ability to produce user manuals, documentation, parts lists, assembly instructions and more in almost any format including Microsoft Office, Adobe PDF, Internet formats and html.
"XVL 6.0 provides unmatched loss-less compression and better system management that makes it possible for massive product data to be viewed, presented, and manipulated from a regular laptop, desktop or Tablet PC," said Alex Garcia-Tobar, president, Lattice3D. "Its XML-based schemas also allow integration of the data with other XML databases, ERP MRO and SCM systems and other mission-critical applications used in the workplace."
XVL 6.0 formats and applications are now available for trial, upgrade and purchase. For more information visit: www.lattice3D.com.
