Lattice3D Teams With Major Automotive Integrator
Lattice3D announced that it has secured EASi as a high-end reseller and integrator for its XVL technology.
Lattice3D provides applications that enable entire organizations to share, re-use, publish and communicate 3D data that originates in the engineering space.
The agreement between Lattice3D and EASi underscores the growing need for 3D publishing software within major automotive OEMs. EASi is a supplier of Engineering and CAE services to the automotive industry. The focus of these services has been integrating IT, CAE and CAD services to improve productivity. For the year 2003, Ford has awarded EASi "World Silver Excellence Award."
The Lattice3D technology directly converts, compresses, and publishes 2D and 3D data from engineering for immediate use in downstream applications ranging from assembly instructions to parts catalogs. The Lattice3D technology speeds development and design cycles by allowing companies to publish, review and mark up data with a simple browser.
Major automotive, manufacturing, architecture and aerospace companies use Lattice3D's XVL-based technologies throughout the world to take data directly from engineering and convert and compress 3D images into an XVL file. Easy to use publishing applications are then used by multiple business operations to produce user manuals, documentation, parts lists, assembly instructions and more in almost any format including Microsoft Office®, Adobe PDF®, Internet formats and HTML. XVL enables the compression of very large data and the usage of computer memory so that end-users are able to manipulate, email, and publish models that were originally 50-250 times larger, without loss of detail.
With over 500,000 users at 2,000 companies, Lattice3D's applications enable our customers to use existing 2D & 3D data beyond engineering-throughout the extended enterprise. The company's 3D software creates interactive 3D documents directly from CAD drawings, while its compression enable uses ranging from technical illustrations and electronic training manuals (IETM) to 3D sales presentations and assembly instructions.
With a staff of 400 professionals worldwide, EASi's capabilities cover all aspects of engineering and information technology, including CAD, concept design and optimization, safety and vibration analysis, as well as e-business and software product and technology development.
