Stakeholders in search of a solution to leverage 3D CAD models to author technical communications
About Lattice Technology
An XVL file contains the CAD-accurate geometry, the linked bill of materials, assembly/service process instructions and more. From automotive, aerospace and defense, to industrial machinery, our customers are 3D model-based manufacturers who design and assemble complex products. Using tools from Lattice Technology, stakeholders can easily leverage 3D CAD models in order to author technical communications for their functional specific needs. SOLIDWORKS, Catia, NX, Autodesk Inventor, Creo and other native formats. XVL retains accuracy while reducing file sizes to 1% size of the original CAD model. Models from multiple CAD files and formats can be combined into a single file of XVL. Assembly work instructions, design review interactive documents, service instructions, and interactive spare part catalogs. Choose from a variety of formats/devices and a variety of standard formats, Microsoft Excel, Interactive web pages, 2D or 3D PDF, Apple iOS.

DFMPro
DFMPro is a design-for-manufacturability software suite that integrates into major CAD environments (e.g., Creo Parametric, SOLIDWORKS, NX, CATIA V5) and helps engineers detect and resolve manufacturability issues early in the design process. It applies real-time design checks and recommendations for manufacturing, assembly, geometry, and cost, thus reducing rework and optimizing tolerances before parts reach production. The tool also includes a cost add-on module that continuously estimates expenses as designs evolve, evaluating materials, features, geometry, and manufacturing regions, and offers suggestions for cost reduction, standardization, and component reuse. DFMPro supports multiple manufacturing processes (injection molding, machining, casting, sheet metal, assembly) and industries (automotive, aerospace, medical devices, high-tech electronics).

DRVEN Parts™
DRVEN Parts™ helps OEMs turn complex engineering data into interactive 3D parts catalogs that make it faster and easier for dealers, technicians, and customers to identify and order the correct part.
Unlike standalone catalog software, DRVEN Parts™ is built on a connected product data foundation. It brings together CAD, BoMs, service information, manuals, and legacy data so every catalog reflects the latest product configuration. Users can explore assemblies in 3D, zoom, rotate, isolate components, view exploded diagrams, search by part or product, and move directly from identification to enquiry or purchase.
Catalogs can be published across dealer, distributor, technician, and customer portals, helping OEMs reduce ordering errors, shorten support calls, increase self-service, and capture more aftermarket revenue. As part of the DRVEN platform, Parts also connects seamlessly with interactive work instructions and operational product knowledge.
