After months of development and collaboration with our manufacturing customers, I'm thrilled to announce the launch of GrabCAD Print Pro '25 (Release 1.104) – our most powerful and competitive release for Stratasys printer to date.
GrabCAD Print Pro '25 is Stratasys’ response to the fundamental challenges facing manufacturers today: the need for greater operational efficiency, simplified workflow complexity, and skilled labor shortages. With a host of groundbreaking new features, GrabCAD Print Pro '25 transforms how manufacturers approach additive manufacturing workflows.
The centerpiece of GrabCAD Print Pro '25 is our complete integration of fixturemate by trinckle – now included at no additional cost with GrabCAD Print Pro. This isn't just another feature; it's a solution to one of manufacturing's most persistent bottlenecks.
For too long, manufacturing engineers with CAD licenses and CAD expertise have been the bottleneck for creating custom fixtures, often creating delays that ripple through production schedules. With fixturemate available directly in GrabCAD Print Pro, AM operators can now design professional-grade fixtures in under 20 minutes – no CAD skills or licenses required.
Early access customers are already seeing remarkable results: 80% reduction in fixture design time, with CMM inspection setup times reduced from 3 hours to minutes by using fixturemate designed fixtures instead of standard CMM fixture blocks . One automotive manufacturer told us, "The simplicity is remarkable – engineers and non-engineers alike can create professional fixtures without CAD expertise."
What truly sets GrabCAD Print Pro '25 apart is its comprehensive 3D printing technology coverage. We're now the first and only additive manufacturing software supporting all five Stratasys technologies – FDM, PolyJet, SAF, Neo, and P3 – plus nesting support for third-party powder bed fusion printers.
This unified approach eliminates the complexity of managing multiple software packages. Instead of jumping between CAD programs, expensive 3rd party print prep software, and legacy software applications, manufacturers can consolidate their entire workflow into one powerful platform - GrabCAD Print Pro.
Beyond fixturemate, GrabCAD Print Pro '25 (1.104) delivers capabilities that address every aspect of production additive manufacturing:
At Stratasys, we believe the future of additive manufacturing depends on seamless integration, not vendor lock-in. That's why GrabCAD Print Pro '25 supports not just our complete technology portfolio, but also provides workflows for some third-party printers as well. This platform approach recognizes that modern manufacturers often work with multiple technologies and vendors. Our software should simplify their operations, not complicate them.
The skilled labor shortage isn't going away. If anything, it's intensifying across every manufacturing sector. Software like GrabCAD Print Pro '25, with its accessible fixture design tools and workflow automation, represents our industry's path forward.
By democratizing advanced manufacturing capabilities, we're not just providing tools – we're addressing fundamental workforce challenges that impact manufacturers globally.
I encourage you to experience these capabilities firsthand. The transformation in workflow efficiency and operational simplicity is something I challenge you to experience for yourself.
