Case Study: Alpine Precision halves mold-making lead times with Lattice Technology's paperless 3D workflow

Streamlining Documentation in a Globally Dispersed Manufacturing Operation

Alpine Precision, a global manufacturer of on-vehicle multi-media equipment molds, needed to cut mold-making lead times and replace slow, error-prone paper-based workflows across its dispersed operations. To address this challenge, it worked with **Lattice Technology** using XVL Studio, XVL Web Master, and the XVL format to create a digital manufacturing and tooling environment called DM-T.

**Lattice Technology** helped Alpine Precision implement a paperless, 3D-data-driven process that consolidated manufacturing information into a single source and made it instantly available across design and shop floor teams. The results were significant: mold lead times were cut in half, training time dropped from 6 months to 1 month, staffing was reduced by 25%, and paper copies were reduced by 93%, while faster information flow also enabled earlier process starts and improved manufacturing accuracy.
