Lattice3D to Present at AIAGÂ’s AutoTech Event

Developer of XVL Brings New Products and New Users to Event

LOS ALTOS, CA (PRWEB) August 27, 2005

Lattice3D, the leader in 3D publishing and communications and developer of XVL compression technology, today announced that it will launch its newest product line at the AutoTech 2005 conference being held on August 29th in Detroit. Lattice3D will exhibit jointly with its strategic reseller partner, EASi, a company which is instrumental in distributing the product throughout the US automotive industry.

Lattice3D will be publicly presenting its products during a news conference and convention presentation entitled “Rapid Analysis and Validation of Large-Scale 3D Designs – The Toyota Case Study and Launch of XVL Studio Pro.” The new XVL Studio Pro software product is a result of a year long development effort, guided by Toyota Motor Company, to implement XVL compression technology for design review in the automaker’s facilities.

“We are providing global access to technology, developed for Toyota, but available to all. With these new products, companies will be able to realize significant time and cost savings in their design review and manufacturing processes,” said Martin Nowakowski, Director of National Accounts at Lattice3D. “Using products based on the industry leading XVL platform, automotive companies and their suppliers can easily re-use even large scale CAD files for downstream design review and 3D publishing applications without loss of data and with complete control over accuracy and security.”

Lattice 3DÂ’s XVL technology ultra-compresses 3D data from CAD modeling applications into lightweight documents that are still voluble in three dimensions and may be annotated, measured, assembled, explored and published with other model parts through Lattice3D applications. The compressed files are more portable, and with the new advancement, can be used to make automatic large-scale measurements on all parts throughout a vehicle, such as the clearance and interference checks.

AutoTech 2005 is a 4-day annual conference hosted by the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG), a not-for-profit organization of OEMs and suppliers to the automotive industry. AIAG's primary goals are to reduce cost and complexity within the automotive supply chain and to improve speed to market, product quality, employee health-and-safety and the environment.
