Lattice Technology Co., Ltd.

Lattice Technology Co., Ltd. (ラティス・テクノロジー株式会社) is a Japanese company whose business is the development of the ultra-lightweight 3D format XVL as a base technology for 3D data utilization solutions, along with the development and sale of related software, solution services and consulting. Its XVL format is described as a Japanese-origin, world-class lightweight 3D format, and its XVL product family and solutions are positioned for individual and overall optimization of departmental operations. The company is headquartered in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, with a Toyota branch office in Toyota City, Aichi.

Lattice Technology Co., Ltd. was established in October 1997 in Takadanobaba, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, with capital of 10 million yen. In February 1998 it relocated its head office to Minami-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo, and opened a research facility. In November 1999 Toyota Motor Corporation took a capital stake. In February 2000 the head office moved to Kudanminami, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; that year XVL technology received a Technology Award at the Web3D/VRML2000 Web3D RoundUp, the Lattice Kernel received an Excellence Award at the 12th Small and Medium Enterprise Excellent New Technology/New Product Awards, distribution of the free XVL data viewer 'XVL Player' began in April, and sales of 'XVL Converter' for converting 3D CAD data to XVL data and of the HTML-format 3D document generation tool 'XVL Web Master' began in October. In January 2001 'XVL' received an Excellence Award in the 2000 Nikkei Excellent Products and Services Awards. In 2002 the company received the Grand Prize at the 12th New Business Awards in January, the Mechanical Systems Division Award at the Nikkei BP Technology Awards in April, began sales of the 'XVL Studio' series of digital mock-up tools in July, and its Representative Director President Hiroshi Toriya received the Startup Division Award at Entrepreneur of the Year Japan 2002 (EOY JAPAN 2002) in October; in November it received an Excellence Award at the Tokyo Venture Technology Awards. In December 2003 it opened a Toyota branch office in Kosakamoto-cho, Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture.
