Stratasys has announced updates to its GrabCAD Print and GrabCAD Print Pro software solutions. The latest enhancements include emissions estimation features designed to help companies reduce their carbon footprint. Additionally, the software is now available for the Neo stereolithography (SLA) platform, enabling users to utilize a unified build preparation tool across all Stratasys core technologies, streamlining workflows.
The integration of GrabCAD Print with the Neo platform extends support to all five of Stratasys’ core technologies, including FDM, PolyJet, and SLA. This consolidation significantly simplifies workflows by facilitating seamless transitions between different printing technologies. Neo printer users now benefit from features such as intuitive support generation and precise print control through GrabCAD software.
“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.”
A key new feature is emissions estimation, allowing companies to calculate CO₂ output for each print job, whether at the component or project level. Factors such as print time, energy consumption, and location-specific emissions data are taken into account. This feature targets businesses aiming to align with ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) goals and meet regulatory sustainability requirements. Currently available for FDM printers, support for additional technologies is planned.
“We’re committed to supporting our customers in their journey toward decarbonization and responsible manufacturing,” said Rosa Coblens, Vice President, of 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.”
The latest software versions also introduce enhanced material support and features like the Split option for simplified model preparation and new anchor placement options for Origin SLA printers, ensuring greater precision in support structures.
With these updates, Stratasys positions itself as a provider of comprehensive solutions that combine hardware, materials, and software to make additive manufacturing more efficient and sustainable.
