  GRABCAD Print: The Why

  Before we officially launched GrabCAD Print, we wrote monthly “teaser” blogs that either described something that frustrated us about the current 3D printing process or alluded to a feature that would appear in the Beta release. For the sake of argument, let’s say that you didn’t read every single teaser blog over the course of five months. No problem. We’ve compiled those blogs here so you’ll have a metric ton of context before you dive in and download GrabCAD Print. Go on. Get after it.
