Stratasys to Showcase its Groundbreaking GrabCAD IoT Platform at Formnext 2024, Optimizing Additive Manufacturing Productivity

Software solution empowers Stratasys customers with real-time insights and enhanced connectivity for maximizing uptime

Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS), will unveil its GrabCAD® IoT Platform at Formnext 2024, a solution designed to transform how customers manage their 3D printing operations and optimize additive manufacturing productivity. Formnext will be held in Frankfurt, November 19-22.

The GrabCAD® IoT Platform is immediately 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 to other technologies in the future.

The new GrabCAD IoT Platform delivers rich 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’ next generation printer connectivity to provide comprehensive real-time data collection and monitoring to optimize operational efficiency.
• The GrabCAD® IoT Platform enhances Stratasys Customer Support capabilities through powerful remote diagnostics and monitoring features. This connectivity enables support teams to quickly analyze printer data and conduct remote troubleshooting, significantly reducing resolution times and minimizing printer downtime.
• Real-time Data and Monitoring: Customers can access real-time data with GrabCAD® Streamline Pro™ on their printer fleet, enabling support engineers to address issues before they disrupt production.
• Data-driven Insights: The platform integrates technologies that allow operators to make data-driven decisions, ensuring quicker problem resolution and enhanced uptime. This preventative maintenance capability creates opportunities to address issues before they happen.
• 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, resulting in better connectivity and remote diagnostics.

“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," said 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."

The launch of the GrabCAD IoT Platform in GrabCAD Streamline Pro and standalone for connected service from Stratasys Customer Support comes as the additive manufacturing industry continues to embrace digital transformation. Stratasys has been at the forefront of this shift offering connected Industry 4.0 solutions for over 15 years, helping its customers leverage IoT and integrate AI to enhance their operations. The platform is a testament to Stratasys' dedication to advancing the state of the art of what is possible in additive manufacturing.
