Press Releases
TS3D and Lattice Technology announce the first applications shipped using the Adobe® 3D OEM Platform.
XVL Studio and Lattice3D Reporter gain immediate access to the industry standard Adobe 3D PDF format.
Berkeley, CA and Tokyo, Japan - September 22, 2009 – Lattice Technology has led the manufacturing design industry by shipping 3D manufacturing software that incorporates the Adobe 3D OEM Platform. Two products, XVL Studio, a high-quality renderer of 3D design data and Lattice3D Reporter, which embeds ultra-lightweight XVL versions of 3D CAD models into Microsoft Excel files, are now able to export 3D files into the world-standard Adobe 3D PDF format.
Sold exclusively through Tech Soft 3D (TS3D), an Adobe Systems Incorporated Solution Partner, the Adobe 3D OEM is particularly appealing for its security, ease of use, ubiquitous CAD translation and the collaborative capabilities of its lightweight 3D PDF.
Lattice Technology General Manger Bill Barnes commented, “The strength of Adobe technology coupled with the expertise of the Tech Soft 3D team allowed us to quickly add this functionality to our product line and offer our clients the flexibility they require when communicating with their production and marketing chains. Manufacturers look to us for ease and speed on even the largest of models – and with Adobe 3D OEM, we are able to ensure that unmatched performance with confidence.”
“It’s important in today’s manufacturing market that you not only provide 3D visualization, but a feature-rich experience to the end user,” added Ron Fritz, CEO of TS3D. “The engineers and business development teams need access to 3D files in a format that is easy to send out, exhibits impressive CAD translation and is simple to mark up. By exporting in Adobe 3D PDF, our clients are able to provide this level of quality, which ultimately translates to faster and more accurate product development as well as more advanced sales and marketing capabilities.”
In addition to the popular PDF format, the Product Representation Compact (PRC) format, used in the Adobe 3D OEM to store, load and display 3D data with precise geometry and outstanding compression , is on its way to becoming the standard 3D file format under the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) - http://www.iso.org/iso/home.htm. This decision was supported by Adobe’s strong commitment to open standards and the capabilities of the PRC format make it the logical choice in assisting companies comply with regulatory mandates.
“By building with the Adobe 3D OEM, Lattice Technology has not only anticipated the direction of the 3D industry but they have quickly acted on it,” said Greg Baker, Senior Manager for Manufacturing Strategic Alliances, Adobe. “With this integration they are positioned to offer they’re customers the technology that will serve them now and well into the future.”
