Lattice3D XVL Technology Selected by MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG-XVL to Become Integral Part of MAN 3D Data Distribution
Lattice3D, a provider of 3D publishing and communications solutions, announced that MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG has signed a corporate agreement to purchase Lattice3Ds XVL technology and applications via TID Informatik GmbH. MANs goal is to optimize processes for the supply of 3D CAD data to internal and external users.
Lattice3Ds technology is being employed to provide rapid, interactive collaboration using 3D data internally and in cooperation with suppliers worldwide. "Were delighted with the 3D XVL technology capabilities, both the compression and the deep integration capabilities of the XVL platform applications," said Stefan Bernhardt, Department Manager, ITC, MAN. "We have a multiyear plan to deploy XVL right across the group, starting with truck and bus manufacturing internally and then to our suppliers."
"We are delighted that such a prestigious automotive company thoroughly evaluated then decided to integrate our 3D Publishing and Communication applications broadly into their workflow," said Jiro Suzuki, COO at Lattice3D. "We and our local reseller partner TID Informatik expect deployment to over 34,000 MAN Nutzfahrzeuge employees and over 700 MAN suppliers."
"This decision by MAN further underscores the continuing adoption by leading automotive companies of Lattice3Ds publishing platform. It is yet another sign that 3D Publishing has come of age and that interactive 3D documentation is fast becoming commonplace in manufacturing and other key business processes," said Alexander Garcia-Tobar, CEO, Lattice3D.
Lattice3D develops and markets leading 3D Communication and Publishing applications on a robust platform to enable the rapid use of 3D data assets in post-design workflow. 3D CAD models and designs can be used directly in print and online user and employee manuals, parts lists, maintenance instructions, assembly instructions, IETMs and more.
