Lattice Technology has released the XVL Converter Plug-In for Autodesk Inventor 2010. The XVL Converter Plug-In for Autodesk Inventor allows 3D data created in Autodesk Inventor 2010 to be compressed to an average 0.5 per cent of its original size without loss of accuracy. As XVL data, the 3D designs can be rapidly mocked up for simulation, design review, process design, kinematics and human interaction on the assembly line.
XVL data is also used to directly and rapidly create print-ready and interactive digital documentation for mBOMs, process and work instructions and technical illustrations. Lattice Technology's applications allow 3D design data from diverse sources and CAD platforms to be integrated into a single assembly model, and because of the compression, can still be easily used and manipulated on low-specification PCs.
The small size of the data means it can be used interactively in locations such as the shop floor and shipping departments, which have typically never benefitted from 3D data before. Automatic updates of mock ups, simulations and technical documentation when the original 3D data is changed is also easy with the Lattice Technology Solutions. This latest converter is available for customers with current maintenance contracts; it is also available for trial.
