  • Boulder, CO, September 2, 2010: Anark Corporation, a leading provider
    of automated 3D CAD transformation and product visualization
    solutions, and Lattice Technology, a leading provider of 3D Process
    Planning and Digital Manufacturing solutions, today announced their
    technology and reseller partnership which includes their intentions
    to integrate their product lines and to leverage the Adobe 3D PDF
    format as an open and freely viewable data container for 3D design
    and manufacturing applications.

    This technology and reseller partnership will provide an integrated
    3D Process Planning and Work Instruction authoring environment which
    utilizes native Adobe 3D PDF as the data delivery format which can be
    viewed and interacted with using the Free Adobe Reader.

    "It makes perfect sense for Anark and Lattice to join forces at this
    time," said Stephen Collins CEO of Anark Corporation. "Lattice is the
    leader in generating a low cost, high value process planning and
    digital manufacturing solution, while Anark has been leading the
    industry in authoring light weight 3D work instructions based on the
    open Adobe 3D PDF format. Together we can now offer a complete 3D CAD
    to 3D Process Planning to 3D PDF work instruction environment at a
    fraction of the cost of the big PLM vendors' equivalent solutions. We
    are enabling our customers to create light weight animated work
    instructions which do not require proprietary CAD formats or CAD
    viewers and are fully deployable using the Free Adobe Reader resident
    on over 99% of the world's computers," continued Stephen.

    "Lattice is very excited to be joining forces with Anark, the lead
    company in transforming heavy 3D CAD assemblies into lightweight and
    open 3D PDFs. Through our years of experience with our super light
    weight XVL format, we have discovered that the Achilles heel of the
    large PLM vendors solutions is the heaviness of the data they
    create," said Bill Barnes, General Manager, Lattice Technology, Inc."
    For example, when you start with a heavy CAD Assembly and combine it
    with heavy manufacturing simulations, the resulting work instructions
    are too heavy and too slow to be useable on the shop floor. Now that
    we have partnered with Anark our ability to deliver super lightweight
    3D PDF work instructions is second to none."

    For more information about the high value low cost super light weight
    3D Process Planning and 3D PDF animated work instruction capabilities
    now made possible, please contact your local Anark or Lattice
    representative.
