Is the volume of 3D data too heavy to share in the network environment?
Is the data from design, manufacturing department effectively utilized at other department?
Is the product shape clearly presented to the Internet users?
XVL (Extensible Virtual World Description Language) technology *1 realizes weight saving of 3D data *2 to be usable in the network environment and Internet environment. Since XVL data is available on a Web browser with a plug-in installed, it is friendly to general PC users.
Utilization of 3D data from design, manufacturing department to other departments makes transmission of product's shape easier than just using text information or planar 2D images. XVL data sample: See Probe >*3 XVL data sample: See Scanner >*3
Are you satisfied with traceability only by texts?
Traceability with visual expression is realized by linking business support system such as PDM (Product Data Management) or PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) with 3D data in XVL format *2. It allows visualization of 3D image of measurement data and CAD data.
*1 Developed by Lattice Technology, Inc.
*2 3D data in XVL format keeps high accuracy, but it is a tool for shape recognition due to slight error by size reduction.
*3 [XVL plug-in] is required to see XVL sample data. download >
