Lattice Technology Releases XVL System Toolkit ver. 3.1

Updated Integration Platform Offers More Automation of 3D DMU, Visualization and Technical Documentation Tools.

San Francisco, CA.— Lattice Technology® Inc., the standard for digital mock up and technical documentation software software in the manufacturing enterprise, today released XVL System Toolkit version 3.1.

XVL System Toolkit is a unique enterprise integration platform that allows digital mockup, visualization, and technical documentation workflows to be integrated within existing enterprise IT platforms such as SAP®, TeamCenter®, Windchill® and others. The Toolkit is delivered as 3 technologies: XVL Processor, XVL Reducer and XVL Filter. When integrated within a system, these tools are triggered to automate the creation and output of enhanced 3D manufacturing data and technical documentation, check 3D data for interferences and so on, and allow 3D data to be redacted according to predefined rules to protect IP or reduce file size.

The new update of the XVL System Toolkit allows 3D data in the XVL v.10 format to be used during automated interference checking between parts, sub assemblies and assemblies. Another new feature is for geometry difference detection to be automated in a workflow. This is where two versions of the same 3D data are compared and visually reported to show where changes have occurred in the design. In addition, improvements to process list import and parts list export have been included.

XVL System Toolkit is a powerful device for manufacturers needing to streamline and automate the creation of documentation when design and other data changes, while working within an existing enterprise IT infrastructure. Combined with the XVL format, it enables 3D data to be usable with industry’s smallest 3D file size with no loss of accuracy, and yet be delivered as highly productive manufacturing data and technical documentation instantly to all stakeholders in the manufacturing supply chain.
