NASA to use Lattice3D Technologies for Digital Shuttle Project

NASA Ames Adopts XVL- based Applications for Sharing Complex Data Across its Extended Enterprise

Los Altos, CA. February 18, 2004 - LATTICE3D, a leader in enterprise-wide use of 3D data, today announced that NASA has chosen to use LATTICE3D and its XVL-based applications for its Digital Shuttle Project. This announcement marks another customer win for LATTICE3D and their XML-based 3D technologies.

LATTICE3D’s technology provides the world’s best 3D compression and its ability to publish complex CAD data to the web and MS office documents at very high compression rates. LATTICE3D allows companies to convert and compress 3D images into an XVL file, access the data through LATTICE3D’s powerful applications, then create easy-to-use, visual tools such as 3D manuals, parts lists, marketing brochures, assembly instructions and parts databases.

“As we focus our overall information modeling on XML-based representations, we are impressed with LATTICE3D’s XVL-based applications and intend to use them to compress, share, and publish 3D designs across our organization and our aerospace partners,” said Paul Keller, Research Engineer, NASA Ames. “We look forward to working on several other projects with LATTICE3D in the near future.”

NASA Ames will join a massive list of marquee and Fortune 500 clients to Lattice3D including Toyota, Mitsui, Sanyo and about 2,000 other high-end manufacturers. Many customers and now more than 500,000 end users take advantage of LATTICE3D’s technology to produce and digitally publish Interactive Electronic Training Manuals (IETM) that use 2D and 3D data to provide visual help and support information.

“We are pleased to gain NASA Ames as a new client and are looking forward to working with NASA and its suppliers,” said Alexander Garcia-Tobar, President and CEO, LATTICE3D. “We are excited that our product will help NASA Ames increase efficiency, lower costs, and contribute efficiency to their designs.”

About NASA Ames 

NASA Ames Research Center is located at Moffett Field, California in the heart of Silicon Valley. Ames was founded December 20, 1939, as an aircraft research laboratory by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and in 1958 became part of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Ames specializes in research geared toward creating new knowledge and new technologies that span the spectrum of NASA interests.

About the Digital Shuttle Project 

A joint effort between two of NASA’s Programs, the Space Shuttle Program Office (SSPO), and the Engineering for Complex Systems Program (ECS), the Digital Shuttle Project is an ontology-based knowledge management system for a virtual Space Shuttle Orbiter, using intelligent Engineering Objects (eObjs) and immersive 3D graphics. The eObjs are knowledge collections of entities within the orbiter, including legacy data, engineering data, system behavioral and functional properties, and 3D graphics models. Using immersive displays covering visual, aural, and tactile input and output, observers will be able to access and interact with the eObjs. A hierarchical component architecture will enable interaction with external processes, such as payload package simulations, to interact with the Digital Shuttle vehicle system and process knowledge base.

About LATTICE3D 

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 easily creates interactive 3D documents directly from CAD drawings, while its unmatched compression enable uses ranging from technical illustrations and electronic training manuals (IETM) to 3D sales presentations and assembly instructions.

LATTICE3D’s award-winning solutions increase efficiency, lower costs, and improve product and service quality. Lattice3D is a privately-held company founded in 1997 and is headquartered in Silicon Valley and Tokyo. The company has offices worldwide and works with resellers in 91 countries.
