LOS ALTOS, CA., September 23, 2004 - Lattice3D, a leader in enterprise-wide use of 3D data, today announced that it has secured EASi as a high-end reseller and integrator for its XVL technology.
Lattice3D provides easy-to-use applications that enable entire organizations to rapidly 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 leading supplier of Engineering and CAE services to the automotive industry with a theme: "Fast-to-Market" partner. Consistent with its theme, 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."
"Combining EASi's recognized system integration capabilities with Lattice3D's technology provides a powerful solution for the automotive manufacturing space," said Alexander Garcia-Tobar, president and CEO, Lattice3D. "We are excited that such a prestigious integrator has endorsed our products and technologies."
"Our experience has shown that manufacturing companies do not often realize the time- and money-savings that could be made by being able to immediately re-purpose 3D data," said Vasantha Sural, VP of IT Services, EASi. "Lattice3D provides the technologies, applications and solutions that make these savings incredibly easy to achieve. We are glad to be working with a forward-thinking company such as Lattice3D."
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 award-winning 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.
