    X-Rite Launches PANTORA

    Desktop application for the management of color and appearance data in digital design and production workflows.

    X-Rite Launches PANTORA
    03.17.21
    X-Rite Incorporated and Pantone LLC announced the release of the PANTORA desktop application for the management of color and appearance data in digital design and production workflows. 
     
    PANTORA now connects with the Ci7000 Series, MA-T12, and MetaVue VS3200 spectrophotometers, enabling brands and suppliers to quickly capture or import spectral and appearance data into the application and create virtual material samples for paints, plastics, metals, fabrics, and meshes, according to X-Rite. 
     
    Using PANTORA, customers can store, edit, and share digital material files using Appearance Exchange Format (AxF) files across Product lifecycle management (PLM), CAD, and 3D rendering software, according to X-Rite.
     
    “The latest release of PANTORA makes digital material scanning accessible to a broader audience by allowing brands and suppliers to leverage their existing color data and measurement devices,” said Matthew Adby, Appearance Product Portfolio manager, X-Rite. “The ability to easily and affordably transform a physical material into a digital sample minimizes the need to ship samples around the globe between design teams, suppliers and partners. This allows companies to innovate and accelerate the design to the manufacturing process.” 
     
    The PANTORA desktop application simplifies the management of a large volume of complex color and appearance data, according to X-Rite.
     
    It acts as the epicenter for appearance workflows connecting digital material capture sources with output destinations, according to X-Rite.
     
    Users can now import a measured material sample or connect to an X-Rite spectrophotometer to measure a physical sample directly into PANTORA, according to X-Rite. 
     
    For paint and coatings samples, the MA-T12 multi-angle spectrophotometer can measure and virtualize flake texture and color flop, according to X-Rite.
     
    The Ci7000 series of benchtop sphere spectrophotometers capture transmission of color on translucent materials and reflection color common in plastics, according to X-Rite.
     
    For multi-spectral texture measurements, the MetaVue VS3200 non-contact imaging spectrophotometer captures the texture of leather, laminate and textile samples, according to X-Rite.
     
    The PANTORA Material Browser locates, acquires, and imports the digital material data as an AxF file that accounts for appearance attributes such as color, gloss, and texture, according to X-Rite.
     
    With the Material Viewer, companies can render the material in a virtual scene to see the effect of lighting, gloss levels, and special effect pigments, X-Rite said. 
     
    The new PANTORA Variant Editor enables suppliers to create large digital material libraries by combining sample attributes, X-Rite said.
     
    “Using digital material virtualization, remote teams can continue to design and source materials using a 3D workflow while having confidence that material color and appearance will be accurate in production,” Adby said.
