Lattice Technology, developers of digital manufacturing applications using the XVL format, today announced the release of Version 10 of the German language version of its free XVL Player and XVL Player Pro.

XVL Player is a freely available viewer that allows anyone with 3D XVL data to be able to quickly view, rotate and cross-section the 3D geometry, check assembly trees against 3D parts, play animations, and view BOMs, annotations and other data that might be contained within the XVL file. XVL Player works on Windows PCs, and allows users with low specification PCs and no CAD knowledge to quickly explore and understand 3D data for their needs.

This latest XVL Player supports customers using the German language who can now freely access 3D data in the new XVL v10 format. XVL v10 can compress 3D CAD data to 0.5% of its original size with no loss of accuracy, allowing anyone in the manufacturing supply chain to quickly view and understand even the most complex 3D CAD data. New tools in this updated version of XVL Player include easier navigation of the user interface to more easily access the wide range of controls available to view and interrogate the 3D data, plus new tools to change the behavior of process animations saved within the XVL file.

The German version of XVL Player is available for free, after a short registration, at Lattice Technology’s web site. More information about the XVL v10 format is available here.
