Lattice Technology Signs as an Adobe Solution Partner

By DE Editors

Lattice Technology is now an Adobe Solution Partner.

The company is integrating its applications with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended software to allow 3D CAD data contained within PDF documents to be enhanced with additional data relevant to downstream processes. This data will include inter-related parts lists and BOMs, annotations, process designs and instructions, assembly animations, motion simulations, and more. The data can then be saved back into the PDF document for sharing and collaboration across the manufacturing enterprise by anyone with free Adobe Reader software.

“Publishing accurate B-rep 3D data to PDF with Acrobat 9 Pro Extended has allowed manufacturers to collaborate easily with anyone, anywhere. Now, with Lattice’s ability to enrich the 3D data within a PDF for use beyond product design, our customers can deliver information that concisely meets the needs of downstream users,” said Greg Baker, senior manager, Manufacturing Strategic Alliances, Adobe Systems Incorporated. “Lattice and Adobe will help customers extend the value of their design data far beyond the CAD and PDM systems. We are excited to have Lattice Technology join the Adobe Solution Partner program.”

Integrated XVL products that support PDF will be announced, and will be available from Lattice Technology and its reseller channel.
