Stratasys debuts new platform for 3D Printers

Stratasys has introduced the new GrabCAD Print Platform for use with its range of 3D dental printers.

GradCAD Print is an integrated software solution designed for Origin One and Origin One Dental 3D printers. The new GradCAD Additive Manufacturing platform will assist users of the software application with print build file preparation and post-print analysis.

The open-source platform is said to allow two-way connectivity between 3D printers, additive manufacturing, and enterprise applications, and broader industry 4.0 infrastructure. According to Stratasys, the software integration is said to be the company’s maiden step incorporating Origin One into the platform.

The enterprise-ready platform further enjoins GrabCAD applications and third-party software partners via the GrabCAD Software Development Kit.

GradCAD Print for Origin One replaces the native Origin web application with an alternative to third-party pre-print software solutions. This is said to provide users with a consistent connectivity with Stratasys 3D printing technologies.

Manufacturers can also take advantage of this new ecosystem to manage their product scale additive manufacturing operations across the entire digital thread.

Other features of the GradCAD Additive Manufacturing platform include:

• Improved print preparation;
• Improved automatic support generation tool with lower support material consumption;
• Brand new functionalities – including labeling, native CAD file support, printer status monitoring, and printer scheduler;
• Provides access to Open Material License that allows users to develop materials with profiles and settings;
• Provide automatic support generation tools.

GrabCAD Print is expected to be available this year at no charge for all Origin One and Origin One Dental printer customers.
