Lattice Technology Releases XVL Player 9

By DE Editors

Lattice Technology (San Francisco, CA), developers of the XVL suite of 3D publishing applications, announced that XVL Player Version 9, is available for free download.

XVL Player is a free viewer with full 3D visualization capabilities such as rotate, pan, and zoom, which allow users to view parts and assemblies in the ultra compressed XVL format that have been generated from CAD or edited with XVL Studio. XVL Player has been adopted throughout the manufacturing industry for non-CAD operators to view and explore 3D models from any PC.

The measurement, cross-sectioning, and advanced viewing features — in the past only available on the licensed version of XVL Player Pro — are now included free in XVL Player 9. These functions allow users to view models, but also add information commonly used in the downstream processes of manufacturers.

In addition to the viewing features, users can create dimensions and profiles for 3D objects or view previously defined snapshots and positions or set its properties to refer to other documents.

With the 9.1 release expected in May, additional free features will be added including animation controls to play process animations. These added amenities are expected to greatly expand the usage of XVL Player, since companies can now use the free viewer to handle a wider variety of post-design processing tasks.
