Lattice CEO Writes '3D Manufacturing Innovation' Book
 SAN
FRANCISCO, CA, Apr 3, 2008 - Lattice Technology Inc, developers of the XVL
ultra-compressed 3D data format, today announced the release of the book,
“3D Manufacturing Innovation” authored by the company’s CEO, Dr. Hiroshi Toriya. The book discusses the growing use of 3D data to improve production
and lays the groundwork for innovative new methods of enterprise-wide
communication to achieve faster, leaner manufacturing operations.
Balanced by detailed case studies at pioneering companies including SONY
Corporation and Toyota Motor Corporation, this new book takes the reader in
depth, and step-by-step, into how 3D data is used more widely in
manufacturing operations to be able to achieve greater efficiencies, greater
leanness of operations, and less exhausted employees. And it is a discipline
of great interest to the author – his company developed the very lightweight
XVL format that has allowed manufacturers to improve production inside and
outside their enterprise.
“This is a critical book for manufacturers in every locale and in every
discipline, who are looking to increase their competitive advantage in
highly competitive fields,” said Bill Barnes, General Manager, Lattice
Technology. “It delivers a broad understanding and a wide vision of how 3D
data can – and will – change manufacturing, even well away from the original
design processes. I recommend it to everybody in our business.”
Fore worded by Kentaro Kizaki, editor at Nikkei Business Publications,
Inc. the book demonstrates how general Information Technologies have matured
and become ubiquitous, and are no longer a source of competitive advantage.
3D CAD itself, with a growing measurable value, is also becoming a
commodity. However, the use of 3D data – the manner in which it is put to
work throughout the manufacturing enterprise is the next source of
competitive edge for manufacturers.
As quoted from the book, Dr. Toriya states, “This brings us to the
question of whether or not the effective use of accumulated 3D data can
actually increase the competitive strength of the manufacturing industry. In
this sector, advanced companies have been experimenting with lightweight 3D
and have finally begun to see major results. Such companies have indeed
started to build the foundations of competitive strength.” (source, 3D

About Hiroshi Toriya
Hiroshi Toriya graduated from Tokyo University in 1983 with a Bachelors
Degree from the Department of Information Sciences. In 1989 he received his
Doctoral degree from Tokyo University, with a Thesis titled, “A study of an
interactive solid modeler containing free-form surfaces.” Dr. Toriya worked
with Ricoh Company Limited from 1983-1997, where he started the R&D project
of solid modeling kernel, and later developed the solid modeling kernel
business model. He later became director of the R&D group at Lattice
Technology, and in 1999 year he was appointed President and CEO. Since then,
Lattice Technology has been awarded several prestigious awards including,
the best small company technology from Nikkan Kokgyou Shiban, for the
Lattice kernel; and the best product and services for Lattice’s XVL
technology from NIKKEI Shibun in 2000.
Dr. Toriya has successfully written two other books “3D CAD principles
and applications,” available in Japanese and English, and “Introduction to
the 3D world,” available in Japanese.
