SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Aug 19, 2008 - Lattice Technology Inc., developers of digital manufacturing applications using the XVL format today announced a series of upgrades to its 3D CAD Conversion tools. As a result of these upgrades, XVL now supports data from the most current 3D CAD tools, including 64-bit CAD platforms.

Lattice Technology's XVL format allows for very accurate, very compressed 3D CAD data to be used by others, who don't have a CAD platform, but who are integrated within a digital manufacturing workflow. Lattice Technology's XVL Converters use leading edge conversion technologies to enable the translation of 3D CAD data from every major 3D CAD format. The Converters are available as plug-ins into a CAD seat, or as Servers that work within a manufacturing IT system or enterprise workflow. Recent upgrades to these converters include support for:

Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4
Autodesk Inventor 2009, in both Plug-in and Server versions
64-bit versions of NX
64-bit versions of SolidWorks.

The converters already support current and older versions of CATIA, Pro/ENGINEER, I-DEAS, CoCreate, Autodesk Mechanical Desktop, SolidWorks, NX, Solid Edge and many neutral 3D CAD file formats.

In addition, the Converters already support 64-bit versions of CATIA and Pro/ENGINEER.

"As XVL becomes more deeply integrated into digital manufacturing processes, so we respond with very advanced support of current 3D CAD formats to enable our customers to easily simulate, validate and animate the designs," said Bill Barnes, GM, Lattice Technology Inc. "Our converters use the industry’s best translation technologies and allow massive 3D data to be compressed, very accurately, into files that are 1% or less of the original size. This makes even the biggest assemblies easily manageable and usable."

Lattice's digital manufacturing applications leverage the highly accurate and ultra-compressed XVL 3D format, enabling even the largest 3D designs to be easily and quickly reviewed for accuracy, simulated, checked for tolerances and clearances and reused in all areas of engineering, design, sales, marketing, maintenance and customer support. Lattice's technologies represent the new era in reliably using and accessing 3D data across the enterprise in a digital manufacturing environment. They are used by designers, production and manufacturing engineers, support staff and illustrators worldwide.
