Stratasys has introduced a partnership with Novineer to combine the corporate’s NoviPath polymer efficiency simulation resolution into Stratasys’ GrabCAD Print Professional software program. The combination goals to assist engineers design lighter, stronger components with predictable efficiency whereas lowering bodily testing necessities for safety-critical functions.
Novineer’s expertise will use GrabCAD toolpath knowledge to simulate half habits in real-world functions by accounting for construct orientation, layer course, infill patterns and material-specific properties. Early clients report the answer allows weight reductions of as much as 35% on load-bearing components, in line with the businesses.
“Partnering with Stratasys embeds NoviPath’s toolpath-aware half simulation into GrabCAD Print Professional, bridging the hole between design intent and real-world half efficiency,” stated Ali Tamijani, Ph.D., CEO and Co-Founding father of Novineer. Conventional finite component evaluation instruments deal with 3D-printed components as uniform items, which the businesses say makes it troublesome to precisely predict how extruded components will carry out in actual functions.
The built-in resolution will initially help Stratasys FDM methods together with the F3300, F900, and Fortus 450mc, with plans for added platform growth. The validated materials library will begin with Antero 800NA, FDM Nylon 12CF and ULTEM 9085 filament, with ongoing additions deliberate.
FDM Efficiency Simulation in GrabCAD Print Professional is deliberate to be obtainable via a joint Stratasys and Novineer early entry pilot program in Q2 of 2026. The businesses state the combination will permit customers to launch simulations utilizing the identical toolpath knowledge used to print FDM components, probably lowering validation time from weeks to hours.
