Lattice Technology Releases Lattice3D Reporter Update and Adds New Publisher Solution

By DE Editors

Lattice Technology Inc. has released Lattice3D Reporter Publisher, as well as an update of its core Lattice3D Reporter software to version 4.

Lattice3D Reporter Publisher combines Lattice3D Reporter and the Template Option to enable automated batch creation of 3D Excel spreadsheets within an ERP/PLM system using pre-defined templates. These Excel spreadsheets are used to provide access to manufacturing, assembly, maintenance and support data. Lattice3D Reporter Publisher is a command-line tool that integrates with existing workflows and IT infrastructures.

Lattice3D Reporter has been updated to version 4. It enables 3D data, with related BOM, assembly, animation and annotation data, to be used in an Excel spreadsheet. Lattice3D Reporter now supports Windows 7 platforms.

The Template Option has also been updated to allow more detailed definition of 3D “snapshots,” which are automatically created in a spreadsheet from a 3D model, as well as allowing user-defined macros to be used in the spreadsheets. The Template Option is an application that works with Lattice3D Reporter to create 3D Excel spreadsheets on pre-defined templates by loading 3D data. These templates can automatically create spreadsheets for many purposes including: print and digital work and assembly instructions, digitally enhanced instructions with linked animations, 3D BOMs and more.
