Lattice Technology Releases Lattice3D Reporter Version 3.0

By DE Editors

Lattice Technology has announced Version 3.0 of Lattice3D Reporter, an application for delivering interactive 3D data in Excel spreadsheets.

Lattice3D Reporter delivers interactive 3D product design data in Excel spreadsheets that also contain list data such as work instructions, assembly processes, parts lists, and other manufacturing data. Users can enhance their work performance and productivity by exploiting the interactivity of the data — click on a listed part and the related 3D part will be displayed where it can be viewed, rotated, cross-sectioned, measured, and so on. Click on a work process or instruction and the 3D animation related to that process will be shown.

This latest version of Lattice3D Reporter supports the new XVL v10 format, which delivers the industry’s most compressed 3D format with no loss of accuracy, according to the company. XVL v10 can compress 3D CAD data to 0.5% of its original size, allowing anyone in the manufacturing supply chain to quickly view and understand even the most complex 3D CAD data, even on a low-specification PC.

Lattice3D Reporter Version 3.0 also delivers enhanced tools to more flexibly define 3D animations shown in the spreadsheet, as well as options to show parts paths. Cross-sectioning specific parts from a 3D assembly model is now possible within the spreadsheet, and improved display and buffering options deliver higher graphics performance.
