Lattice Technology Releases 64-bit CAD Converters

By DE Editors

Lattice Technology Inc. (San Francisco, CA), developers of digital manufacturing applications using the XVL format, announced a series of upgrades to its 3D CAD Conversion tools. As a result of these upgrades, XVL now supports data from the most current 3D CAD tools, including 64-bit CAD platforms.

Lattice Technology’s XVL format allows for accurate, compressed 3D CAD data to be used by others who don’t have a CAD platform but who are integrated within a digital manufacturing workflow.

Lattice Technology’s XVL Converters use conversion technologies to enable the translation of 3D CAD data from every major 3D CAD format. The converters are available as plug-ins into a CAD seat, or as servers that work within a manufacturing IT system or enterprise workflow. Recent upgrades to these converters include support for Pro/ENGINEER WildFire 4; Autodesk Inventor 2009, in both Plug-in and Server versions; 64-bit versions of NX; and 64-bit versions of SolidWorks.

The converters already support current and older versions of CATIA, Pro/ENGINEER, I-DEAS, CoCreate, Autodesk Mechanical Desktop, SolidWorks, NX, Solid Edge, and many neutral 3D CAD file formats.

In addition, the Converters already support 64-bit versions of CATIA and Pro/ENGINEER.
