Stratasys launches GrabCAD Print Pro 2025 with fixturemate
Stratasys Ltd has announced the release of GrabCAD Print Pro 2025, an updated version of its build preparation software designed to reduce time, complexity and cost in 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.
GrabCAD Print Pro 2025 shifts fixture design tasks from design engineers to Additive Manufacturing operators This allows users to independently create fixtures within the software, avoiding the need for separate CAD tools and reducing fixture development time 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 GrabCAD Print Pro 2025 allows customers to:
- 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 build prep sessions in parallel, scaling setup across build jobs and increasing overnight/weekend utilisation
- 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 labour 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.
