(NASDAQ: SSYS) today announced a partnership with Novineer, a generative modeling, design and simulation software company, to integrate Novineer’s NoviPath, a polymer performance simulation solution, with Stratasys’ GrabCAD Print Pro™ software. The integration gives engineers a faster, more cost-effective way to design lighter, stronger parts with predictable performance, while reducing the need for physical testing for safety-critical, load-bearing applications.\nThis press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251217481301/en/Stratasys GrabCAD Print Pro and Novineer's NoviPath will help engineers and manufacturers identify performance issues in parts, reducing the need for physical testing for safety-critical, load-bearing applications.\nNovineer’s technology will use GrabCAD™ toolpath data to simulate part behavior in real-world applications. By accounting for build orientation, layer direction, infill patterns and material-specific properties, the solution delivers prediction accuracy that early customers report enables weight reductions of up to 35% on load-bearing parts.\n\n\"Partnering with Stratasys embeds NoviPath’s toolpath-aware part simulation into GrabCAD Print Pro, bridging the gap between design intent and real-world part performance,” said Ali Tamijani, Ph.D., CEO and Co-Founder, Novineer, Inc. “Stratasys users can now predict stiffness, strength, and failure before they hit ‘print,’ cutting trial-and-error, time, and cost while qualifying more FDM™ parts. As the first OEM to launch this unique solution, Stratasys is redefining what material extrusion can deliver in a production setting.”\n\nTraditional finite element analysis tools treat 3D-printed parts as uniform pieces, ignoring material extrusion layer-by-layer nature. This makes it impossible for engineers to accurately predict how extruded parts will perform in real-world applications with traditional finite element analysis tools. Novineer’s integration uses process-aware GrabCAD data to provide accurate predictions of stiffn...
