With the rapid advancements in digital technology, the manufacturing industry is undergoing a significant transformation. One of the most notable developments in this space is the introduction of XVL from Lattice Technology. This innovative solution is revolutionizing the way companies handle 3D CAD data conversion and product design efficiency. The power of XVL lies in its ability to facilitate a seamless and efficient workflow for handling complex 3D CAD files, which is a common challenge in product design and manufacturing.
XVL stands out in the industry due to its remarkable file conversion capabilities. It offers an answer to several critical questions that manufacturing companies face regarding their 3D CAD data:
The real game-changer is XVL’s ability to convert files from any major 3D CAD system and combine them into a single Virtual Product Model. The resulting file size is remarkably small—about 1% of the size of the original CAD files, retaining CAD-level accuracy and all metadata.
Imagine a product with a mix of different CAD files equating to gigabytes of data. XVL can convert and combine these into a manageable size without compromising on detail or functionality. This makes it not just a cost-effective solution but also enhances performance by reducing the computational load during downstream operations.
For companies looking to embrace digital transformation, the first step is to optimize the use of existing digital assets, primarily product design data. Lattice Technology has been at the forefront, aiding companies in leveraging their design data for enhanced productivity and innovation.
Downstream Applications of XVL:
All these applications demonstrate how XVL can be instrumental in modern manufacturing operations, making 3D CAD data conversion and handling an integral part of a company's success.
Effective data management is crucial for empowering stakeholders across various departments. XVL serves as an extension of your 3D CAD systems, providing a unified model that maintains CAD-level precision and is dynamically linked to the native CAD files for easy updating in response to changes. This single master model becomes the cornerstone for all processes that rely on product data, enhancing collaboration and decision-making.
XVL transcends the capabilities of a simple viewer by offering conversions of multiple 3D CAD formats into a single XVL file. This comprehensive list includes, but is not limited to, Creo Elements/Direct Modeling, Creo Parametric, NX, Solid Edge, SOLIDWORKS, and
