As an online platform, GrabCAD does not offer any physical hardware products as such. However, there are some key features to the site – three of which are particularly notable.
Workbench
Launched in 2013, Workbench is a free cloud-based collaboration solution that helps engineers manage, share and view CAD files. Hosted on a cloud architecture, it allows multiple engineers to securely engage with a single design at one time, whilst also being simple enough to share externally with non-CAD users.
Community
Today, the the platform’s community consists of over 2,000,000 users, and is nearing over 670,000 open source models. Challenges and tutorials are also available on the Community site.
Toolbox
This feature enables Workbench users to access third-party CAD applications that run on GrabCAD’s platform. Currently, there are four apps available from Keyshot, Autodesk, IronCAD and Solid Edge, but GrabCAD is focused on drawing in new CAD application developers to grow Toolbox’s usefulness to engineers.
