As you know, we recently launched GrabCAD Voxel Print, an innovative and groundbreaking way to digitally design and fabricate more complex composite materials on the Stratasys J750 PolyJet printer. We had help in creating this feature rich software enhancement from the rapid prototyping group at LAIKA, the production house that brought us the creative works of Coraline, Kubo and the Two Strings, Boxtrolls, and many other wonderful animated film productions.
After its acquisition, the GrabCAD team took on a new challenge: to develop software that could streamline and simplify 3D printing for Stratasys printers.
Evan Hochstein is a passionate STEM education supporter and long time FIRST Tech Challenge team mentor, volunteer, and alum. He currently works with the Applications Engineering Lab at the North American Headquarters of Stratasys located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Most weekends, you will find Evan working with FIRST teams or trying out a new 3D print on one of Stratasys’ PolyJet or FDM technologies.
It’s been a little less than a year since GrabCAD Print launched in November of 2016. With our monthly update schedule, we’ve now made 10 rounds of enhancements to the software to improve your 3D printing experience. All these improvements were based on feedback from our customers.
Here at GrabCAD, we love talking with members who are doing extraordinary 3D printing things to hear more about their projects and the benefits they have found using the GrabCAD suite of products.
As an 18-year-old senior in high school planning to study business in college in the fall, you would think I’d have no connection with engineering whatsoever. It’s true, I really don’t, but with an eye in business, I see great potential for the 3D printing industry. As 3D print technology becomes more accessible to people of all skillsets, it wouldn’t surprise me if the technology changed the way we build and innovate in the future.
We wanted to fill you in on the latest updates we’ve made to GrabCAD Print. The enhancements serve to improve the value of Stratasys’ 3D print technology, provide additional capabilities and services, and respond to feedback we've received.
