Lattice Technology Digital Manufacturing Solutions deliver outstanding performance, enabling fast interrogation, simulation and validation of 3D data at every part of the design, engineering, production and manufacturing workflow.

This is achieved through delivery of applications that were created in close consultation with major manufacturers who defined their needs in the product development workflow and identified the areas that traditional PLM, CAD and digital manufacturing vendors have failed to address, including:

• Leveraging the ultra-compressed but highly accurate XVL format, which makes 3D data between 50 - 200 times smaller, ensures that large 3D data can be easily handled without any loss of data
• Focus on the industry's best support of all major 3D CAD data formats so that conversion to XVL is quick, seamless and highly accurate
• Integrated support for all industry-standard collaboration and communication tools including: Microsoft Office, Adobe PDF, html, and more
• Support for engineering industry exchange formats including STEP, IGES, Parasolid, JT, PDF, SVG, CGM and more
• Accurate and fast reporting tools that deliver clear results from design review, simulation, and validation during the product development process
• Support for Microsoft Office products and formats to ensure fast collaboration between designers, engineers and other departments
• Ability to reuse XVL data directly into other downstream areas including manufacturing instructions and product illustrations with Lattice applications
• XVL applications and converters that support the latest 64 bit CAD applications, as well as more standard 32 bit CAD systems
• Support for all current Windows platforms including XP and Vista
• Support for all major ERP, PLM and PDM systems to help automate the use of 3D data throughout your operation
• Ability to quickly view, rotate, pan, and zoom 3D data, annotate, dimension and animate 3D data in XVL

With Lattice's software, you can effectively and easily leverage digital manufacturing principles into your 3D process. Lattice Technology builds on existing CAD, PLM and ERP systems to enable fast and rapid interrogation, validation, simulation and communication of designs of any kind and size. This allows faster verification that a design will work, and will ensure it is free of errors well before any kind of production is started.
