Abstract
MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG, a leading manufacturer of trucks and buses in Europe, uses XVL as the company’s core format, especially encouraging the use of XVL for 3D drawings. Since January 2006, MAN Commercial Vehicles Group has been automatically converting selected 3D design data to XVL and using it for the distribution of 3D design data in the process chain. Currently, the 3D XVL Player is installed on nearly every PC. This chapter discusses the use of 3D data at the company-wide level at MAN based on an interview with Dieter Ziethen, Project Leader in the Information Technology CAE Group, MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG.
