Stratasys Releases GrabCAD Print Pro 2025

MINNETONKA, MN, USA and REHOVOT, Israel, Jul 23, 2025 – 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.”

Phillips Machine Tools to Bring Nakamura-Tome’s Multitasking Machining to Indian Manufacturing

PUNE, India, Jul 22, 2025 – Phillips Machine Tools, one of India’s leading providers of manufacturing technology solutions, proudly announces a strategic collaboration with Nakamura-Tome Precision Industry Co., Ltd., Japan. Through this partnership, top- of-the-world-class multitasking machine technology is introduced to India. This partnership offers manufacturers in high-impact industries with enhanced productivity, better cycle time, and easy operations of complex ones.

World-class multitasking machining know-how for Indian manufacturers

Established in 1949, Nakamura-Tome is globally renowned for its multitasking technology of integrating turning, milling, threading, and drilling into a single setup. Renowned for perpetual high-precision performance, the brand machines are used by industry leaders across the globe. With this tie-up, Phillips will now be Nakamura-Tome’s representative in Gujarat, North India, and East India.

“I think everyone in the machine tool world knows Nakamura-Tome. It’s a world-famous name for multitasking precision,” said Mr. Terrence Miranda, Managing Director, Phillips Machine Tools India. “Their turn-mill centers can mill 24×7, 365 days a year, something you rarely see. This brand is synonymous with quality and performance. It completes our metal cutting portfolio and lets us serve manufacturers who require true multitasking.”

Major areas of focus on high-growth sectors and markets

These are included in Phillips’ strategy to bag high-value, export-focused markets such as Gujarat, North India, and Eastern India. These markets also have some of the most thriving manufacturing hubs in aerospace, automotive, medical, and general engineering. These segments involve tight tolerances, cycle-time efficiency, and mixed operations. Nakamura-Tome machines have been engineered to deliver these capabilities.

“In Gujarat, especially with orthopaedic and precision component makers, Nakamura really shines. Similarly, in the North, we see demand from quality-conscious innovators,” Mr. Miranda added. “Our long-term goal is to offer not just machines but fully tooled, automated solutions. It will take time and learning, but we are committed to building this with Nakamura’s expertise.”

From raw to finished: Multitasking that delivers

One of the key machines to be launched through this collaboration is the AS-200—a multitasking solution that embodies Nakamura-Tome’s design philosophy. The goal is to consolidate multiple operations into a single setup. The AS-200 enables complex parts involving turning, milling, threading, and more to be machined within just a few minutes, significantly reducing the need for multiple workstations and manual intervention.

“Traditionally, it might take six or seven different machines to manufacture a single complex part. Our strategy is different.

The single- turret machines are suitable for confined spaces and provide high efficiency with milling capacity and sub-spindles available as an option. These achieve higher precision on smaller footprints. The two-turret, two-spindle machines suit simultaneous machining jobs, with a maximum of 48 tools and Y-axis capability. Y-axis is standard on top turret in WT series and on both turrets in WY series. These machines have optimal cycle times for mission-critical applications. For shops that require high tool capacity and machining stability, the ATC multitasking machine lineup includes models equipped with an 80-tool magazine and, on select machines, the NT Smart Cube design featuring the world’s shortest tool spindle in its class — ideal for high-speed, complex machining.

This range gives Indian manufacturers the flexibility of selecting the right platform based on part geometry, manufacturing volume, and floor space. Support for all configurations comes from Phillips’ local application know-how and support.

A vision-driven partnership

This partnership is a culmination of years of relationship between the two companies. It is based on trust, shared values, and a common vision of empowering next-generation manufacturing.

“Our partnership with Phillips is built on mutual trust and a shared commitment to customer success,” said Mr. Nakamura. “Phillips has deep application knowledge and strong customer relationships. Together, we are enabling smart and future-ready manufacturing in India.”

The SBTi alignment demonstrates ANCA’s dedication to ambitious, science-driven climate action. Emissions reductions will be achieved through a combination of energy efficiency improvements, adoption of renewable energy, and collaboration across the supply chain. 

Strategic Foundations: Governance, Innovation, and Impact 

Governance & Oversight 

An ANCA Sustainability Steering Committee will drive implementation, bringing together leaders from Operations, Finance, HR, and Business Units to ensure sustainability is embedded across decision-making and operations. 

Double Materiality Lens 

Guided by a double materiality assessment, ANCA’s strategy focuses on the intersection of business impact and global need—targeting the areas where the company can drive the greatest long-term value. 

Key Focus Areas and Targets 

Environmental Commitments 

  • Carbon Emissions: Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions cut by 42%; Scope 3 by 25% by 2030. 
  • Circular Economy: Product redesign for recyclability, waste reduction, and closed-loop systems. 

People and Community 

  • Safety: Maintain a LTIFR of 6 or lower; aim for zero harm. 
  • Diversity & Talent: Expand graduate programs, increase female representation, and build leadership through the ANCA Leadership Framework. 
  • STEM & Social Impact: Ongoing support for robotics, space, and motorsport university teams, plus charitable programs in Australia, the USA, Thailand, and beyond. 

Ethics and Supply Chain 

  • Modern Slavery: Full compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2018. 
  • Sustainable Logistics: Shift to low-emission transport and ethical sourcing through a new supplier code of conduct and sustainability rating systems. 

Sustainability Through Innovation 

ANCA’s cutting-edge machines already deliver more sustainable outcomes by design—offering higher energy efficiency, reduced waste, and extended product lifespans. Innovations in IoT, data analytics, and predictive maintenance further reduce operational impact and enhance long-term value for customers. 

“Innovation is our DNA,” Ripple said. “Our strategy ensures that every breakthrough doesn’t just drive performance—it delivers lasting environmental and social benefit.” 

Conclusion: A Shared Responsibility 

“In our business, microns matter. That same level of precision guides our sustainability approach,” Ripple added. “Every reduction in emissions, every recycled part, every skill developed—it all adds up. Together, with our employees, customers, and partners, we’re not just keeping up with change – we’re driving it.”
