Lattice Technology Brings DMU and Technical Documentation Discussion to COFES 2010

Company Discusses The Role of Digital Mock Up and Technical Documentation as Critical Tools to Manufacturing Productivity

April 13 2010, San Francisco, CA.— Lattice Technology® Inc., the standard for digital mock up and technical documentation software in the manufacturing enterprise, is participating in COFES 2010 this year as a Hospitality Suite sponsor..

Lattice Technology will be discussing with attendees how 3D data can deliver significant productivity improvements for manufacturing when it is used in departments other than design and engineering. However, to be productive downstream, the 3D data needs to be tuned to requirements that are not readily dealt with in design areas or typically handled by CAD systems. This is where specialist tools such as those from Lattice Technology come in.

“One customer, Alpine Precision, reduced lead times on its molds by 50% using Lattice Technology Solutions, which to many seems like an unbelievable productivity gain in this day and age of continuous improvement,” said Bill Barnes, General Manager, Lattice Technology. “They did it by testing and mocking up designs far earlier and then delivering the precise information needed by shop floor, production, support staff etc., created directly from 3D by the Lattice Technology Solutions.”

Lattice Technology Solutions author and deliver print-ready and digital technical documentation for almost every downstream use direct from 3D data. Sophisticated digital mock up tools allow for the verification of designs, including interferences in the design, clashes during assembly, process design and editing, with full reporting of the results.

At COFES Lattice Technology will discuss with attendees the perceived and real barriers that can exist when an operation tries to use 3D enterprise-wide and deliver greater understanding of how these barriers can be easily resolved. Subjects will include:

• Unlocking the CAD data so it becomes relevant downstream
• Digital mock up benefits for productivity
• Reducing scrap through better process and assembly testing
• Balancing print and digital data for the shop floor
• Introducing 3D to the shop floor and beyond
• Process design and human interaction
• Bringing 3D to support, maintenance and repair teams

COFES 2010 (Congress On the Future of Engineering Software), is being held on April 15-18 2010 in Scottsdale, AZ. To apply for an invitation, visit: www.cofes.com.
