Major Defense Aerospace Manufacturer Adopts Lattice Technology XVL Products Company’s New VisPM Initiative to use XVL
Lattice Technology announced that Lockheed Martin has adopted XVL into its new Visual Product Model (VisPM) initiative.
Lattice Technology provides software for the creation and management of usable, intelligent 3D content throughout the manufacturing enterprise. The compression of Lattice Technology's XVL format allows even the largest and most complex assemblies to be used throughout the manufacturing lifecycle. Lattice Technology's digital manufacturing applications directly use XVL data for manufacturers to perform Design Review, Digital Assembly, Manufacturing Process Instructions and Simulation, Technical Illustration, Customer Service, Marketing, Sales, Quality Control, Product Development and Supply Chain instructions.
Lockheed Martin sought out Lattice Technology's XVL solutions in order to provide a lightweight, 3D platform for integration with its VisPM initiative.
"As part of our efforts in this initiative, we had a mission to locate technology that will enable the seamless sharing of 3D data in an easily viewable format," said Marc O'Brien, Lockheed Martin. "With a growing portfolio of 3D data, accessibility to that data has become a priority. Lattice’s lightweight solutions make these valuable assets available throughout the entire organization."
Bill Barnes, General Manager, Lattice Technology said, "We provide manufacturers with total ease-of-use for 3D data. The biggest challenge with sharing and using 3D data is that the wide range of proprietary CAD formats can be overwhelming. Lattice Technology's XVL format brings that data accurately into a single, easily managed, lightweight format, and that data can then be applied in many different ways – viewing, animations, in spreadsheets, on the web, in Office documents and more – via our XVL applications."
