XVL Studio Pro is the ultimate tool to enable your 3D design data to become 3D manufacturing data. XVL Studio Pro delivers powerful applications dedicated to rapid design review, development of processes, editing and creation of parts lists, verification and simulation of plant and product designs, and documentation of these which can be used downstream in every manufacturing scenario. The application offers such advanced functions as automated interference and clearance checking of complex assemblies and display of results in a spreadsheet format, advanced process design, simulation and animation of parts and assemblies and also includes all the capabilities of XVL Studio Basic and XVL Studio Standard.
XVL Studio Pro is ideal for enabling 3D data to be used across the extended enterprise by non-CAD trained personnel, on lower specification PCs, and in distributed manufacturing locations.
All Studio products are available with optional upgrades for enhanced functionality including Point Cloud data import, STEP and other polygon format import, technical illustration, and more.
XVL Studio Series
XVL Studio is for authoring and publishing content converted from virtually any 3D CAD system.
Using XVL Studio, it is possible to improve the assembly process by verifying processes and providing clear communication to the manufacturing floor that 3D CAD cannot do.
XVL Studio is available in three versions, each with various additional options:
- XVL Studio Basic - Includes measurement, annotation authoring, cross-sectioning.
- XVL Studio Standard - Includes Basic plus work instructions, animations, process definitions.
- XVL Studio Pro - Includes Standard plus interference checking, clearance analysis.
Use Cases
-
Author Work Instructions - XVL Studio gives the user the ability to create powerful, visual work instructions that are linked to accurate part geometry. Work instructions commonly include three view panes: 1) 3D parts/assemblies, 2) process tree for assembly/service, and 3) bill of materials (BOM) - all of which are linked and may include animations.
XVL Studio also automates much of the authoring task by creating part paths for assembly/disassembly and automatic camera positioning for optimal viewing of the step. - Create Technical Documentation - XVL Studio puts the power in the hands of the technical illustrator. Leveraging the CAD geometry, the illustrator can focus on how to best visually communicate. Easily create standard illustrations with all of the features you would expect, or create interactive 3D illustrations. Now supporting 3D PDF.
- Design and Validate Processes with Digital Mock Up - XVL Studio can be used to model entire assembly/services processes. For instance, the entire assembly process can be modeled in order to validate the manufacturing plan. Using XVL Studio, models of tooling and fixtures can be included in the XVL model -- even human mannequins with realistic movement can be included.
Key Benefits
- Improve communication with advanced 3D publishing - by creating 3D technical animation sequences and procedures for assembly instructions, manufacturing, training, IETMs, digital manuals, and more.
- Drive innovation and collaboration - with productivity boosting process planning, multiple views, and saved snapshot capabilities.
- 'Practical' lifecycle management - use XVL Studio Standard for advanced design and manufacturing review with digital mock-up.
- Solve the multi-CAD problem - assemble models from different CAD systems to automatically create new XVL files.
- Additional optional modules - for Technical Illustration, direct import of CATIA V4 and Parasolid files, and Point Cloud Evaluation.
