Stratasys Ltd., a global 3D printing and additive manufacturing leader, has announced an exclusive software partnership with Trinckle 3D. The collaboration aims to advance the customization and automation of additive manufacturing. Trinckle 3D, known for its expertise in software solutions for design automation, will provide Stratasys with cutting-edge software tools.
These tools are expected to enhance the capabilities of Stratasys’ 3D printers, allowing for more efficient and tailored production processes. Yoav Zeif, CEO of Stratasys, emphasized the significance of this partnership. The acquisition of Trinckle’s advanced software solutions will empower our users to unlock new design possibilities and streamline their workflows,” said Zeif.
The partnership is poised to set a new standard in the 3D printing industry, addressing the growing demand for personalized manufacturing solutions. It aligns with Stratasys’ ongoing commitment to innovation and customer-centric solutions. Integrating Trinckle’s fixturemate™ software into Stratasys’ GrabCAD Print™ Pro software package aims to simplify the creation of custom 3D-printed fixtures.
Software partnership with Trinckle 3D
It is designed to eliminate the need for specialized CAD skills by utilizing intelligent automation. Fixturemate enables manufacturers to design and configure 3D-printed fixtures within minutes.
The software optimizes the geometry based on part shapes, catering to various applications such as machining, inspection, or assembly. The combined solution will be available later this year across Stratasys’ entire technology portfolio. It targets several industry sectors, including industrial, transportation, service bureaus, and contract manufacturing.
The partnership offers significant benefits, including reduced design time, lower operational costs, and increased workforce flexibility. It allows non-technical staff to create complex fixtures, which is particularly valuable given the shortage of skilled labor in the manufacturing sector. Stratasys’ collaboration with Trinckle 3D is expected to deliver substantial savings in both time and costs, making advanced manufacturing technology more accessible to a broader range of users.
It represents a strategic move to address a persistent bottleneck in production environments and enhance Stratasys’ competitive position in the market.
