Stratasys Launches GrabCAD Print Pro™ 2025 to Accelerate Production Fixture Creation and Streamline Additive Workflows

New software release enables Additive Manufacturing operators to create complex fixtures without CAD tools, reduces prep time, and integrates support across all Stratasys technologies and third-party platforms

MINNETONKA, Minn. & REHOVOT, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS) today announced the release of GrabCAD Print Pro™ 2025, an important update to its print preparation software designed to reduce time, complexity, and cost across additive manufacturing operations.

The software update includes full integration of fixturemate™, a design automation application developed by trinckle to simplify fixture design. fixturemate allows users to generate production-ready fixtures in minutes – no CAD experience required. With full integration of fixturemate, and enhanced features like 3D textures, void body creation, and multi-session support, the new version gives users more control over part functionality and throughput while simplifying production workflows and reducing reliance on traditional engineering resources.

Manufacturers increasingly rely on additive manufacturing to improve agility on the factory floor, but many still face bottlenecks caused by fragmented software workflows and the need for skilled engineering labor. GrabCAD Print Pro™ 2025 shifts the work of fixture design from design engineers downstream to AM operators - enabling GrabCAD Print Pro users to independently create fixtures within GrabCAD Print Pro instead of the traditional way of using different CAD tools by different users with specialized design skills. Simplifying this process reduces creating new fixtures from days to hours.

"Before GrabCAD Print Pro '25, even a simple fixture might take a day or more and require CAD skills and a manufacturing engineer," said Jeff McGarry, Managing Partner at Automation Intelligence. "With GrabCAD Print Pro '25 and fixturemate, we've dramatically accelerated our design workflow, turning concepts into printable CAD models faster than ever before."

The release builds on Stratasys’ commitment to deliver open, connected solutions that solve real manufacturing challenges. Customers can now:

• Create production-ready fixtures without CAD tools or licenses, reducing fixture design time by up to 80%.
• Apply 3D textures directly in GrabCAD Print Pro, enhancing grip, fit, and aesthetics while avoiding file size issues from traditional CAD workflows.
• Use insert and void body tools to improve part functionality and reduce support material and post-processing.
• Run multiple print prep sessions in parallel, scaling setup across print jobs and increasing overnight/weekend utilization.
• Consolidate multiple software licenses into a single platform with support for all five Stratasys technologies and select third-party powder bed fusion (PBF) and stereolithography (SL) systems.

“GrabCAD Print Pro 2025 reflects our platform approach to additive manufacturing—focused on eliminating workflow barriers while expanding material and printer support,” said Victor Gerdes, Vice President of Software, Stratasys. “We’re addressing real-world constraints, like labor shortages and software complexity, with tools that put more capability into the hands of the people running the printers. This release gives manufacturers the flexibility and scale they need to move faster.”

GrabCAD Print Pro 2025 is available through Stratasys’ direct and indirect channels. A 30-day free trial with full-feature access is available now. For more information, visit https://www.stratasys.com/en/grabcad-fixturemate/.
