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, CA — April 28, 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 extremely large
(1Gbyte - 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 Lattice3D's 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 Lattice3D's 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 company's new
XVL® 6.0 technology to substantially compress file sizes without
loss of detail and data. Lattice3D's 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
