Lattice3D Reporter Launched

Lattice Technology, developers of leading 3D publishing applications, has launced its latest new product, Lattice3D Reporter.  With Lattice3D Reporter, manufacturers can insert ultra-lightweight 3D XVL data easily into reports shared between different departments.  These 3D visuals of parts and product views give immediate communicative power to documents such as product testing check sheets, design reviews, or process instructions usually created using Microsoft Excel.  3D geometry can be easily linked with traditional spreadsheet information enabling the best possible communication.

'With strong demand for shortening product delivery time, many manufacturers are turning towards XVL compression to provide clear 3D visuals that add accuracy and efficiency throughout the production stage,' says Andrew Vernon, Managing Director of Epitomy Solutions, Lattice's UK partner.  'Lattice3D Reporter brings some real business process adavntages,' he continued.

Lattice3D Reporter embeds XVL data into Excel documents, automatically linking 3D source file, parts ID, and the snapshot images.  Icon buttons from the Excel add-on make image generation a quick and simple operation directly from the spreadsheet application.  The interconnection between Reporter and Excel allows for normal emailing of reports without limitations on the size of 3D content or worrying about multiple files as everything is contained in a single Excel file.  The retail price of Lattice3D Reporter is US$1,995. Lattice Technology plans to ship 4,000 copies for the first year.

Ends 19 April 2007
