JETCAM Orders Controller Premium II v1.04 Released

JETCAM International today announced the release of version 1.04 of its JETCAM Orders Controller (JOC) Premium II. Originally launched at the JEC Composites show in Paris in March 2013 the latest version includes features aimed at both profiling and punching users, and makes the ideal companion to an existing JETCAM Expert CAD/CAM system.

JOC Premium II’s core functionality is as a remote ordering system, allowing production staff to queue CAD files for automatic component geometry entry and tooling, and to also build unlimited worksheets of either components or complex assemblies to be sent to JETCAM Expert for automatic nesting.

A number of key new features have been added to this new release:

• Parametrics Support: Users of JETCAM Expert’s interactive and automatic parametric programming modules now have a built in editor within JOC Premium II. In addition to being able to create and edit standard parametric programs there is an automatic parametric ‘.DO’ file generator, allowing users to use JETCAM’s parametric programming to quickly create a whole family of component files from basic parameters.
• Nest Costing: The ability to quickly obtain a costing for sheet metal components has traditionally been problematic for many companies. With JOC Premium II you can combine several of its key features to quickly import CAD files, create tooled component files using JETCAM Expert’s Single Component Automatic Processing (SCAP) facility and immediately build nests with resulting detailed part costing. Users can look at the cost of the part on each single nest or parts averaged across multiple nests, taking potential remnants, scrap, machine and operator costs into account. The information can also be exported for analysis or import into legacy data systems.
• Tool information: CNC punch users often need to identify where tools are used, either on selected components or previously generated nests. This may be because a tool is broken or out of stock, or because they want to reduce the number of tools they use. JOC Premium II not only allows you to identify which parts or nests contain one or more tools, but also shows a nest tool graph detailing the number of nests that each tool is used on. A slider and zoom controls allows the user to quickly focus on the higher or lower numbers, and data can be quickly exported to CSV for further analysis or importing into legacy data systems.

Version 1.04 includes a number of other minor new features and enhancements to existing functions, which are also backed up by comprehensive video tutorials, allowing staff to get up and running without further training or costs. Custom processors can be easily written to reshape data coming in via the CAD or Order import to ensure seamless data transfer from other systems.

Martin Bailey, general manager for JETCAM International commented; “We were excited to be able to release this feature-rich update so soon after the initial launch. Each feature stands on its own strength but together they deliver benefits greater than the sum of their parts. JOC Premium II is great for companies that have a lot of data – be it CAD files, component files, assemblies, tools or nests. Information can be immediately filtered and grouped to help users make sense of it, and we've included importing and exporting of all relevant data.”

COMSOL Ships Multiphysics 4.3b

COMSOL Inc., the leader in multiphysics simulation software, today announced the release of major new additions to the COMSOL simulation platform. The latest version of COMSOL Multiphysics, version 4.3b, introduces five new application-specific modules and expanded modeling and analysis tools.

New Application-Specific Modules

With the introduction of the five new modules, users in key application areas from major industries now have access to the new modeling and simulation tools offered by COMSOL.

• Multibody Dynamics Module - Provides users with the ability to analyze the assembly of rigid and flexible bodies. Transitional and rotational displacements, as well as locking, can be simulated for a variety of joint types, including prismatic, hinge, cylindrical, screw, planar, ball, slot, and reduced slot joints.
• Wave Optics Module - Allows users to analyze electromagnetic wave propagation in optically large structures, such as optical fibers and sensors, bidirectional couplers, plasmonic devices, metamaterials, laser beam propagation, and non-linear optical components.
• Molecular Flow Module - Offers the capability to simulate rarefied gas flow in complex CAD geometries of vacuum systems. This includes such applications as mass spectrometers, semiconductor processing, satellite technology, particle accelerators, shale gas exploration, and flow in nanoporous materials.
• Semiconductor Module - Enables the detailed analysis of semiconductor device operations at the fundamental physics level allowing for the modeling of PN junctions, bipolar transistors, MOSFETs, MESFETs, thyristors, and Schottky diodes.
• Electrochemistry Module - Tailored user interfaces are now available for electroanalysis, electrolysis, and electrodialysis. Typical applications include: glucose sensors, gas sensors, chlor-alkali electrolysis, desalination of seawater, waste water treatment, and control of electrochemical reactions in biomedical implants.

“With the introduction of these five new modules, COMSOL Multiphysics is able to offer a simulation package that is unique in the industry,” says Bjorn Sjodin, VP of product management at COMSOL. “There is no other software out there that offers the same accuracy across such a wide array of disciplines.”

New COMSOL Multiphysics Capabilities

The new features delivered with the COMSOL product suite include enhancements to CAD importing and geometry handling, meshing, physics, solvers, results, and productivity tools that offer increased usability and performance throughout the product development process. COMSOL Multiphysics 4.3b brings tremendous enhancements to features in existing modules, thus augmenting simulation speed and the capabilities of the entire product suite. COMSOL continues to impact design processes by positively influencing the accuracy and immediacy of analysis results. “It is the mission of COMSOL to provide engineers and scientists with the right tools needed to design reliable and safe products,” says Ed Fontes, chief technology officer at COMSOL.

• Geometry and Mesh - A new feature allows users to make quick what-if studies by taking a 2D geometry from the cross-section of a 3D geometry. A new curvilinear coordinate system tool makes it easier to define anisotropic materials in curved geometric shapes. Additionally, increased automated swept meshing capabilities allow for faster modeling.
• Interfacing and Productivity - The new One Window Interface with LiveLink for Inventor allows users to work with COMSOL Multiphysics from within the Inventor environment. New updates in LiveLink for Excel allow the import of multiple models and export of material data from Excel to COMSOL.
• Electrical - A new magnetics solver facilitates faster stationary and time-dependent magnetics simulations. A new electrical contact feature is added to the AC/DC Module; the electric current flowing between two surfaces now varies according to surface properties and contact pressure. The periodic structures for electromagnetic waves feature is now available in the RF Module.
• Mechanical - Bolt pre-tension and beam cross-section analysis can now be simulated in the Structural Mechanics Module. Cumulative damage for fatigue analysis with random amplitude loads is now available in the Fatigue Module. The Heat Transfer Module has been enhanced with multi-wavelength surface-to-surface heat radiation, heat transfer with phase change, and thermal contact features.
• Fluid - The new frozen rotor feature in the CFD Module efficiently solves for the pseudo-steady flow field in rotating machinery for laminar and turbulent flow. A new thin screen feature for thin permeable barriers allows the simulation of wire gauzes, grills, and perforated plates. Additionally, the SST turbulence model and a new CFD solver are now available.
• Chemical - The new thin impermeable barrier for mass transport feature allows users to represent thin walls as interior boundaries with a no-mass-flux condition on both sides.

In keeping with the modeling simplicity and effectiveness that users have come to expect from COMSOL, the new modules and features implemented in the simulation platform follow the same intuitive modeling process. “It’s extraordinary that users can experience the same workflow process no matter which simulation task or application they are working with,” says Bjorn Sjodin, “this unique approach allows users to adapt the COMSOL environment to address their specific needs and implement any solver or feature to their simulation to achieve the most useful results.” Since the modeling environment remains the same, both the new and existing modules can be combined and coupled to create simulations specifically designed by the user to address their unique simulation needs.

3DSemantix to Unveil 3DPartFinder at SolidWorks World 2010

3DSemantix will demonstrate its integrated 3DPartFinder geometry-based search engine for SolidWorks at the SolidWorks World 2010 exhibition to be held in Anaheim, California, January 31st to February 3rd.

Semantics is the study of meaning. In computer science, a “semantic gap” frequently occurs whenever ordinary human activities, observations, and tasks are transferred into a computational representation.

In a very similar way, engineers designing 3D models using CAD systems are facing a problem when searching for similar parts in a database and using alphanumeric-based search systems. This method is so unproductive that today, designers prefer to create a new part instead of using one that is already in inventory, for lack of being able to find it easily. The designer is facing a semantic gap; he search for SHAPE but has to provide ALPHANUMERIC characters to the search engine, hoping the model name will contain some and bring a few results. In order to find similar parts the designer has to become a database administrator.

3DSemantix has filled the gap and created semantics that allow one to search for similar parts using a 3D MODEL as input to the search engine, not alphanumeric characters. 3DSemantix is proudly introducing its first product using this new semantics: 3DPARTFINDER. 3DPartFinder for SolidWorks is a revolutionary shape search product that does for parts what Google does with text: It finds and displays parts similar to the initial inquiry. That initial inquiry can be done in various ways. One approach is to load an existing file of the target part and launch 3DPartFinder. Another approach is to sketch the 3D shape of the target part in SolidWorks, and then have the search engine find similar parts.

3DPartFinder is fully integrated into SolidWorks and give access to the user to all the functions of its CAD system. Launch 3DPartFinder from SolidWorks and suitable matches are displayed in a SolidWorks assembly. Parts are ranked according to their similarity to a reference. Users can rotate and compare any part in the assembly and access any detailed information or function available in SolidWorks as necessary. The user can easily launch another search using any file results returned by the first search.

The advanced geometry-based search capability of 3DPartFinder accurately identifies similar parts and duplicates. Its unique advanced geometry-based search capability enables part reuse. It also promotes knowledge re-use in core engineering while minimizing time and expenses associated with designing or purchasing duplicate parts.

“Part Re-use is one of the major issues which companies face to increase their productivity. 3DPartFinder for SolidWorks will now allow everyone to implement it so inexpensively,” explained Roland Maranzana, Chief Technology Officer of 3DSemantix, who has overseen the creation of the new program. “By integrating 3DPartFinder and adopting the look and feel of SolidWorks, designers can use the shape search engine effectively from the first day.”

At SolidWorks World, 3DSemantix will meet with leading international SolidWorks dealers to establish a strong distribution channel for its new product. Any SolidWorks representatives that are interested in reselling 3DSemantix’s new software are invited to visit the company on booth 135.

LEDAS Ships LGS 2D Geometric Constraint Solver v3.0

LEDAS Ltd., an independent provider of variational design tools, component technologies, and software development services for the CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM market, today announced version 3.0 of its LGS 2D geometric constraint solver. As a core component of parametric drawing applications, LGS 2D allows users to express design intent through geometric constraints and driving dimensions applied to 2D points, lines, curves, and other elements of sketches and drawings.

Since its first release in 2004, the LGS 2D software component has been licensed and embedded by several CAD/CAM/CAE vendors into parametric drawing applications. In five years, LEDAS has released eight intermediate versions of LGS 2D.

New Features in LGS 2D 3.0

Version 3.0 of LGS 2D adds support for NURBS curves, equal curvature geometric constraints, memory management, and many additional improvements.

NURBS (non-uniform rational B-spline) curves are commonly used in computer-aided design and computer graphics applications. Previous versions of LGS 2D supported NURBS curves, but required that they be evaluated on the application side. Whereas application developers before had to implement callback functions to regenerate the shapes of curves, they will now find that working with NURBS curves is as easy as working with lines and circles in LGS 2D 3.0. The application simply calls the spline creation function, passing all needed parameters (algebraic degree, control points, knots and weights), and then the solver evaluates the spline. This new feature reduces the software development cycle and shortens the time to market for a new parametric drawing application.

An even greater advantage to using the new NURBS curves support is the significant performance improvement. The derivatives of NURBS evaluation functions needed for numerical methods of constraint solving are now expressed analytically and computed by the solver.

Version 3.0 supports a new form of geometric constraint, equal curvature. It is useful for parametric drawing applications that require smooth (G2) tangencies between curves. In this case, application developers create both tangency and equal curvature constraints between two curves (or between a curve and a circle or a line) and then make the corresponding "help" parameters equal.

Version 3.0 allows application developers to define custom sets of memory management tools for controlling and optimizing memory use. This new feature is critical for applications that deal with large drawings, which are typically composed of thousands of geometric elements.

LGS 2D 3.0 also contains many other improvements, such as alignments for tangency constraints with curves, versioning for binary dump, and journaling enhancements. Several bugs in the autoconstraining function have been fixed, and issues reported by LEDAS customers have been resolved.

"LGS 2D is used by our customers to implement powerful parametric drawing functions, which are compatible with the capabilities of mainstream MCAD systems, but at an affordable price," said Dmitry Ushakov, Director of Product Management, LEDAS Ltd. "Our new version 3.0 is another significant step towards this direction: it introduces new functions aimed at supporting advanced user requirements yet shortening the application development time."

An integration module has also been created, which allows version 3.0 of LGS 2D to be used with applications based on DWGdirect of the Open Design Alliance (ODA). This integration module was developed jointly by LEDAS and the ODA, and it provides DWGdirect-based applications with support for constraints contained in the DWG 2010 file format.

SYCODE Releases CATIA V4 and V5 File Import Add-Ins for SolidWorks

SYCODE has released CATIA V4 and V5 file import add-ins for SolidWorks. These add-ins give SolidWorks the ability to read CATIA V4 and V5 parts and assemblies without the need of a CATIA license.

"SolidWorks CEO Jeff Ray could not put it better when he recently said in an interview that SolidWorks customers are fed up with not being able to share data between CATIA and SolidWorks,” says Deelip Menezes, Founder and CEO of SYCODE. "As a SolidWorks Solution Partner, SYCODE has taken the initiative to offer a solution to this long standing problem. Using these add-ins SolidWorks users will now be able to open CATIA V4 and V5 parts and assemblies without needing a license of CATIA installed on the computer or network.”

These add-ins are powered by the widely used 3D InterOp technology from Spatial. 3D InterOp is the industry standard for proprietary and neutral CAD file format data exchange and is used in almost all the major CAD systems. Besides data exchange 3D InterOp also offers powerful repairing and healing features which are extensively used in these add-ins. Repairing involves checking the file for corrupted data and fixing invalid data. Healing corrects the differences in precision. The add-ins also create detailed log files which are extremely useful in identifying data translation problems and aid in locating and fixing errors.

The add-ins have been tested to work with the 32 bit as well as the 64 bit versions of SolidWorks and are available as a fully functional trials. They come with installers and detailed documentation in the form of compiled HTML help files which contains step-by-step tutorials to get end users started in the shortest possible time.

Delcam Releases PowerINSPECT 2010

Delcam has launched the 2010 version of its PowerINSPECT inspection software, which offers even easier inspection of parts, tooling and prototypes against CAD data.  The system is already the world’s leading hardware-independent inspection software, with this new version making it even more attractive to users of all types of metrology equipment, including manual and CNC CMMs, inspection arms and optical devices.

In the 2010 version of PowerINSPECT, the creation and editing of inspection sequences has been improved by adding the ability to insert extra points or features anywhere within the sequence, not just at the end. This will be useful for all users but especially for those creating inspection sequences with larger numbers of measurements. It will also make it easier to update complex sequences during long production runs, when process or design changes require modifications to the inspection routine.

The ‘simple measures’ functionality included in the previous PowerINSPECT release has been extended in the latest version.  The range of pre-defined inspection sequences for common measurement patterns has been increased, and simple alignments have been introduced.   

The GD&T Wizard has also been improved and simplified.  PowerINSPECT now offers the ability to select features from the CAD view, with item types shown by an icon, making selection easier.

PowerINSPECT 2010 includes improved simulation for checking sequences that are to be run on CNC CMMs or to be used for On-Machine Verification.   The collision checking has been made more flexible and easier to use, with options to stop the sequence automatically once a collision is detected and to continue the simulation until the next problem is found.

The ability to reuse measurement results has been extended. PowerINSPECT 6 introduced the ability to create a feature from a combination of other features, for example, to combine the results from a series of circles to create the inspection report for a cylinder.  PowerINSPECT 2010 builds on this functionality with the new ‘point source’ feature which gives the ability to define these relationships offline. This improves consistency for batch measurement, with the measurements being able to be reused in the same way for every component.

Finally, labels for reporting purposes can be attached to selected points within point clouds generated by laser scanners. For example, the user could highlight in the report the points that are furthest out of tolerance or could identify critical points in the design for detailed reporting.

VX CAD/CAM 2009 v14.2 Released

VX Corporation, a pioneering developer of integrated CAD/CAM solutions, announced today the release of VX 2009 v14.2, which is now available for download from support.vx.com. This release not only contains many enhancements in drafting, modeling and 2-5 axis CAM, but there is a significant performance enhancement to the direct edit shape morph technology and improved sectioning of unhealed imported parts.

As a step to increase performance, customers can now build a "light- weight" morph feature that can be edited and tweaked more rapidly.

In this example, Morph is used to directly edit the bend angle of this forging This enhancement is especially important to customers that use shape morphing for non-stylistic applications, like bending and unbending parts, model repair, back draft correction and applying over bend.

VX has always been able to produce section views of unhealed imported parts for quoting and inspection, but this latest enhancement rounds out the tool kit by now supporting bent sections of open shapes.

"These latest enhancements to VX 2009 version 14.2 are just two examples of our responsiveness to our customer needs." said Bob Fischer, VX Vice President Sales and Marketing "We are continually striving to provide customer-driven updates to our software."

Customers running earlier versions of VX 2009 can download and install this update from support.vx.com. Customers running older versions of VX (VX 2008 V13.xx and earlier) can purchase an update to V14 from the VX web store or from their local reseller.

DP Technology Ships ESPRIT 2010

Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) industry leader DP Technology is pleased to announce that ESPRIT® 2010, the production release of the latest version of its ESPRIT flagship product, is now shipping.

New developments within this latest version of ESPRIT place great emphasis on providing existing ESPRIT customers with additional tools that will increase their productivity.

"We believe that concentrating on serving the needs of our existing customers is the best investment we can make,” says Chuck Mathews, DP's vice president and director of product development. “With the 2010 release of ESPRIT, more than ever before, we are utilizing the latest computer technology to solve the practical real-world challenges our customers face on a daily basis.”

ESPRIT 2010 has been optimized to fully embrace the capabilities of the latest multi-core computers, an especially valued time-saving characteristic for 3-axis and 5-axis programming. ESPRIT 2010 runs on Microsoft® Windows® XP, Windows® Vista™ and Windows® 7™ operating systems.

Improvements That Every Customer Will Enjoy
Every ESPRIT customer will enjoy the benefits of an all new, faster-to-use, graphical user interface (GUI) used to define machining operations throughout ESPRIT. This new tree-style GUI is used to define machining parameters used for cutting parts in milling, turning and wire EDM programming. Using the new GUI, cutting parameters are entered and immediately validated for the given workpiece. The GUI also adapts to display only questions pertinent to the given cutting environment, minimizing the number of choices the programmer needs to consider. The new tree-style GUI uses a small portion of the screen, providing the programmer with a clear, unobstructed view of the workpiece at all times. This new GUI is designed to look familiar to existing ESPRIT customers, allowing them to easily transition to and gain the productivity benefits of ESPRIT 2010.

Thanks to the new multi-threaded stock automation engine in ESPRIT 2010, customers can now benefit from instantly starting the part program simulation at any time and at any point in the program. This new feature eliminates the need to simulate all operations from the beginning or to save the results of previous simulations. Now ESPRIT customers can start a simulation with the stock that results from the completion of all previous operations without first waiting for the simulation of the previous operation. The use of multi-threading technology — with which stock calculations are done in the background, which doesn't slow the programmer down — makes this ideal scenario a reality in ESPRIT 2010.

Machining pockets has just become significantly easier with ESPRIT 2010 due to advancements in feature recognition. The upgraded advanced feature recognition now automatically recognizes pockets with any combination of open and closed walls, fillets, chamfers and tapered walls. In addition, undercut areas that can't be reached with the given tooling are automatically excluded. These new pocket features may also be based on native CAD features, resulting in the features in ESPRIT being associative with the original CAD model. As a result, if the CAD model changes, the user is notified and can choose whether to automatically update the ESPRIT feature and its associated machining to match the CAD model. This association is maintained from the CAD model to the finished toolpath.

Support for the Latest CNC Machine Tools
ESPRIT 2010 offers dramatic improvements in the support of integrated multi-tasking, mill-turn machine tools. All ESPRIT milling and turning machining capability, from 2-axis turning to 5-axis milling, is available for any type of mill-turn machine tool, including lathes that perform milling, mills that perform turning, Swiss-style machines and other “integrated mill-turn machining centers.” In the 2010 release, support for these multi-tasking machine tools has been enhanced through increased flexibility in cutting tool configurations and orientations, enabling the support of a wide variety of machines. The newly added support for additional rotary axes, three or more, allows the ESPRIT customer to completely program and easily simulate the most complex and sophisticated machine tools currently available on the market.

For the ESPRIT wire-EDM customer, the 2010 version includes support for EDM machines with rotary axes. This allows EDM programmers to perform wire-EDM cutting in 5- and 6-axis using turn-and-burn (indexing the rotary table), and turn-while-burn full 5-axis simultaneous cutting with a rotary table. This new version also provides EDM programming with an innovative new 4-axis pocketing, no-core cutting, machining cycle.

New 3D Machining Techniques
ESPRIT 2010 includes 13 new FreeForm 3- and 5-axis machining cycles that are available for milling, mill-turn and Swiss-turn machine tools. These high-speed, multi-axis machining cycles offer a wide variety of new choices and capabilities for ESPRIT customers who are performing 3D machining. Additions for 3-axis include a new roughing cycle that can also be used for rest-machining, seven new finishing cycles and three specialized cycles — 3D contouring, pencil tracing and corner machining. Two new specialized 5-axis machining cycles are also included within this release, swarf machining and impeller machining. All of these machining cycles, which add up to a tremendous amount of new technology, will be provided to existing ESPRIT FreeForm customers as part of their ESPRIT software maintenance contract (SMC).

Availability
ESPRIT 2010 is now shipping to existing ESPRIT customers with active software maintenance contracts (SMC). We expect that all North American customers will receive their updates before the end of 2009. International SMC updates are starting in December and will continue into the first quarter of 2010. ESPRIT 2010 is also available now to new ESPRIT customers.

SYCODE Ships 6 Neutral Data Exchange Plug Ins for AutoCAD

SYCODE has released six neutral CAD file format data exchange plug-ins for AutoCAD. These plug-ins give AutoCAD the ability to read and write IGES, STEP and SAT files.

"AutoCAD can already read and write ACIS SAT files,” explains Deelip Menezes, Founder and CEO of SYCODE. "However, this ability is restricted to ACIS version 7.0 only. This can pose a huge data exchange problem for AutoCAD users, especially since ACIS has reached version 20 and most CAD systems read and write SAT files later than version 7.0. The SAT import and export plug-ins that we are releasing today will eliminate this problem since they use authentic libraries from Spatial, the developers of ACIS, and hence will always be compatible with the latest version of ACIS.

SYCODE already offers plug-ins to import IGES and STEP files. However, these are mostly effective to import 2D data. 3D data is imported as wireframe curves, not solids. The IGES and STEP import plug-ins have been completely rewritten and can now import 3D data stored in IGES and STEP files as 3D solid objects in AutoCAD. This is a significant improvement as it greatly increases the ability of AutoCAD to exchange 3D data with other CAD systems. The IGES and STEP export plug-in are new products. When used along with the import plug-ins, they give AutoCAD the ability to do a complete round trip of 2D and 3D data. As an Autodesk partner, SYCODE is committed to offering AutoCAD users robust data exchange solutions that go to solve the data exchange problems that they face in a multi-CAD environment.

All six plug-ins are powered by the widely used 3D InterOp technology from Spatial. 3D InterOp is the industry standard for proprietary and neutral CAD file format data exchange and is used in almost all the major CAD systems. Besides data exchange 3D InterOp also offers powerful repairing and healing features which are extensively used in these plug-ins. Repairing involves checking the file for corrupted data and fixing invalid data. Healing corrects the differences in precision. The plug-ins also create detailed log files which are extremely useful in identifying data translation problems and aid in locating and fixing errors.

The plug-ins work with AutoCAD 2000 through to AutoCAD 2010, 32 Bit as well as 64 Bit and is available as a fully functional trial. They come with installers and detailed documentation in the form of compiled HTML help files which contains step-by-step tutorials to get end users started in the shortest possible time.

Lattice Technology Releases New XVL Converter for Autodesk Inventor 2010

Lattice Technology® Inc., developers of digital manufacturing applications using the XVL® format today released its latest converter for Autodesk Inventor® 2010.

The XVL Converter Plug-in for Autodesk Inventor allows 3D data created in Autodesk Inventor 2010 to be compressed to an average 0.5% of its original size with no loss of accuracy. As XVL data the 3D designs can be rapidly mocked up for simulation, design review, process design, kinematics, human interaction on the assembly line, and more, in the Lattice Technology applications. XVL data is also used to directly and rapidly create print-ready and interactive digital documentation for mBOMs, process and work instructions, and technical illustrations.

Lattice Technology’s applications allow 3D design data from diverse sources and CAD platforms to be integrated into a single assembly model, and, because of the industry-leading compression, can still be easily used and manipulated on low specification PCs. The small size of the data means that it can be used interactively in locations such as the shop floor and shipping departments which have typically never benefitted from 3D data before. Automatic updates of mock ups, simulations, and technical documentation when the original 3D data is changed is also easy with the Lattice Technology Solutions.

“Autodesk Inventor continues to be the CAD system of choice for many of our customers, who are creating ever bigger and more complex assemblies in 3D,” said Bill Barnes, GM, Lattice Technology Inc. “Using that 3D data downstream becomes difficult in the absence of industry-leading tools such as the Lattice Technology Solutions and the XVL lightweight format.”
