"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 3D'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 four-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.
