| 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.
