The enhanced software platform, now also available for Neo stereolithography platform, boosts productivity, quality, and environmental insights for additive manufacturing operations
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. & REHOVOT, Israel, November 14, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stratasys (NASDAQ: SSYS) today announced enhancements to its GrabCAD Print? and GrabCAD Print Pro? software, introducing emissions estimations to aid in sustainability efforts. In addition, GrabCAD Print is now available for use on the Neo? stereolithography (SLA) platform, allowing customers to use the same GrabCAD Print build preparation software for all 3D printers offered by Stratasys.
With the expansion of GrabCAD Print to include the Neo platform, the software now supports all five of Stratasys’ core technologies. This gives users an integrated software experience for streamlined workflows to support their additive manufacturing capabilities.
GrabCAD Print Pro for Neo offers users a streamlined, user-friendly SLA build preparation and centralized 3D printer management software package. GrabCAD Print integrates seamlessly with Neo’s Titanium? software for advanced file management, intuitive support generation, and precise print control. Neo 3D printers are now included in the GrabCAD Print ecosystem, allowing Neo users essential print preparation capabilities free of charge. This new addition underscores Stratasys' commitment to delivering accessible, high-quality software solutions across its 3D printing ecosystem.
"The availability of GrabCAD across all five Stratasys technologies gives us a significant competitive advantage. Many of our customers use multiple types of printers, and having one software package helps them seamlessly move between technologies," said Rich Garrity, Chief Business Unit Officer, Stratasys. "Customers can harness the full potential of 3D printing in modern manufacturing, optimizing workflows according to carbon and cost, and driving operational efficiency to have a more responsible, future-ready approach to production."
The latest GrabCAD Print Pro release includes emissions estimations that allows customers to estimate and optimize the environmental impact of each 3D printing build, aligning with rising demands for carbon footprint transparency. New features provide estimates for carbon dioxide equivalent (CO?e) emissions on both whole-job and individual-part levels, accounting for variables such as print time, power consumption, and the specific emissions data for customers’ production locations. Customers will gain valuable insights for decarbonization and reporting requirements, as businesses address climate action and rising regulation with need for compliance. These emissions estimations are now available for the Company’s FDM? technology printers and are in the works for additional Stratasys technologies in the future.
"We’re committed to supporting our customers in their journey toward decarbonization and responsible manufacturing," said Rosa Coblens, Vice President, Sustainability, Stratasys. "Our GrabCAD Print software, a key element in Stratasys’ holistic portfolio of sustainable solutions, combines hardware, materials, and software to help manufacturers achieve measurable environmental impacts. With features like emissions estimation, GrabCAD Print empowers customers to align their production processes with ESG goals, climate action priorities, and data-based decision making for optimized operations. This is central to our Mindful Manufacturing approach – offering solutions that not only advance sustainability but also deliver strategic value as part of our customers technology investments."
Additional enhancements to GrabCAD Print and GrabCAD Print Pro include expanded material support and advanced features for more precise control, specifically the addition of the Split feature which enables intricate model preparation and the new anchor placement options for Origin DLP printers that support higher accuracy in support structures.
