Superior 3D Technical Documents
It's a 3D world but, until now, most of our Technical Documents
have had to be 2D. With Lattice's novel and patented approach
you can efficiently evolve your 2D Technical Documents to far superior
and more effective 3D Technical Documents that communicate complex
ideas and instructions in an interactive, immersive way for fast
comprehension and retention.
Increase the effectiveness of Technical Documentation
Whether your technical documents are for manufacturing, servicing,
process control, user manuals, or after market support - incorporating
3D makes them easier to use, produces better communication, quicker
comprehension, greater retention, and, as a result, higher productivity.
Misunderstanding and errors are reduced. More effective technical
documents save time, both process time in manufacture and downtime
in servicing.
The manual creation process can be reduced by half, with the added benefit of high-quality graphics standards throughout international operations.
Whether you want 2D, 3D, or both in your Technical Documents, Lattice Technology can help you produce them significantly faster, better, and cheaper. Technical illustrators can create line art drawings and illustrations from 3D models directly instead of recreating them, typically reducing production time by 50%. Easily create, high fidelity/resolution 3D perspective views of products or 'exploded' parts in a variety of rendered styles ... and publish them either as 2D 'pictures' or ultra-compressed 3D models embedded within 3D digital documents. Skilled illustrators can focus on creativity rather than 3D perspectives. 3D illustrations or interactive graphics are more efficient with Lattice Technology - and you can achieve all this without any additional CAD or Viewing software or special training.

Efficiently create more effective technical documents - from 2D paper to full 3D digital media ... and enjoy these benefits:
- More effective Technical Documents - Use annotated 3D models to compose documents that are easier to use and understand.
- More efficient production of Technical Documents - re-use assets, don’t re-generate - accurately and quickly create the 2D and 3D illustrations you need straight from the 3D CAD models.
- Reduced localization costs - communication with 3D - especially 3D animations - minimizes need for text translation/ localization and facilitates parallel work in multiple locations.
- 3D-aware documents - automatically create technical documents with interactive linked 2D and 3D technical illustrations, 2D pictures, tabulated parts lists, assembly hierarchies, and 3D animations.
- Auto-updating - automatically update documents with annotations, numbering, and headers when 3D data are modified.
- Superior 3D animations - to store animations and generate animated views when needed. No CDs, DVDs, or Streaming networks required.
- Free 3D viewing for all - Lattice Technology provides free viewers for all ... there are no hidden costs for viewing your 3D content!
- Full 3D view control. Pan, rotate, and zoom with high fidelity/resolution graphics ... full control for high fidelity display even when zoomed.
- Incorporate assembly structure and parts lists. Regroup, change name/assembly, edit properties ... display, hide, color, and position components.
- Exploded views. Automated production of exploded part diagrams, optional leader lines, numbering systems, view points.
- Controlled accuracy. Control precision - either to be highly accurate to the original or specifically less accurate for training rather than manufacturing use.
- Annotation/hyperlinks. Add for any part/assembly to increase understanding.
- Measurement/dimensions. Measure dimensions. Calculate area and volume, center of mass, and more ... add dimensions to parts/assemblies.
- Animation. Define assembly or disassembly processes with rotating camera views around the model ... play back at the touch of a button and stop at any point to zoom, rotate, manipulate, and examine.
- High fidelity/resolution. Use extremely accurate and wholly interactive 3D with model size limitations.
- Create/publish freeform 3D Docs. Combine 3D XVL data, 2D images, structured data, text and graphics in a single document.
- Automatic publishing via templates. Quickly and easily create interactive linked and cross-referenced web pages from models, animations, illustrations, parts lists and databases, assembly trees, and more.
- Batch processing. User-defined templates can be used within automated batch processing.
- Security. Control access to your 3D data, using NIST (AES) encryption and 3 levels of password protection for view, measure and edit access.
