Stratasys to Show GrabCAD IoT Platform at Formnext 2024

Stratasys Ltd. plans to unveil its GrabCAD IoT (internet of Things) Platform at Formnext 2024 (November 19-22 in Frankfurt, Germany), a solution designed to help manufacturers manage 3D printing operations and optimize additive manufacturing productivity, the company reports.

The GrabCAD IoT Platform is now available to Stratasys customers with GrabCAD Streamline Pro workgroup software, with new PolyJet J3/J5 Series printers and from Stratasys Customer Support. The solution is planned to be rolled out for other technologies in the future, according to Stratasys.

The new GrabCAD IoT Platform delivers new standards-based IoT-enabled capabilities that digitally transform customer interactions with Stratasys’ suite of 3D printers, software and services.

Key features in GrabCAD Streamline Pro enabled by the GrabCAD IoT Platform include:

In GrabCAD Streamline Pro, the GrabCAD IoT Platform introduces Stratasys’ printer connectivity to provide real-time data collection and monitoring.

The GrabCAD IoT Platform enhances Stratasys Customer Support capabilities through remote diagnostics and monitoring features. This connectivity enables support teams to quickly analyze printer data and conduct remote troubleshooting.

Real-time Data and Monitoring: Access real-time data with GrabCAD Streamline Pro on the printer fleet.

Data-driven Insights: The platform integrates technologies that support data-driven decisions, ensuring quicker problem resolution.

Comprehensive Fleet Management: The GrabCAD IoT Platform provides a new standards-based approach (MTConnect) that allows customers to monitor and manage all Stratasys printers within their connected and digital manufacturing environment.

“The GrabCAD IoT Platform with GrabCAD Streamline Pro, or even standalone with Stratasys Customer Support, represents a significant leap forward in our digital transformation journey,” says Rich Garrity, chief commercial business officer at Stratasys. “Using a single standards-based IoT platform for all Stratasys printers rather than multiple bespoke printer technology specific IoT solutions, we're not just improving individual printer performance—we're transforming how our customers interact with and benefit from their entire Stratasys ecosystem.”

Attendees at Formnext are invited to learn more at the Stratasys booth (Hall 12.1, Booth D121).
