Number 1 site mechanical engineers around the world use today.

Over 250 000 members, 50 000 unique CAD models, hundreds of tutorials.

GrabCAD is the world’s largest mechanical engineering community connecting over 260 000 engineers across the world.

The site has grown from small number of users into active environment where thousands of engineers share their CAD models, expertise and knowledge, learn from others’ projects and participate in various engineering challenges. GrabCAD Library consists of over 50 000 unique CAD models, thousands of questions and and tutorials. Significant part of the growth has happened within the past year.

The key approach to developing the product for engineers:

• Simplicity, replacing complex PLM systems with something easy.

• Covering the key functionality missing from CAD project management systems.

• Encouraging communication and sharing between engineers worldwide.

GrabCAD CommunityThe foundation of GrabCAD relies on lively engineering community. In order to provide the members with convenient and usable platform to communicate, the product includes several features:

• Professional portfolio page for every member to demonstrate their CAD skills, industry background, expertise and level of activity on GrabCAD site.

• CAD model library with collaboration features allowing engineers to follow and have discussions about one specific model, contribute with their own versions of the model, have an influence on daily and weekly generated popular content.

• Tutorials and Q&A to share CAD knowledge and improve skills for engineers of all levels.

• Engineering challenges sponsored by leading innovative product development companies. Challenges are a way for engineers to compare their skills to other participants and earn money.

GrabCAD TeamsGrabCAD has developed a professional Teams product allowing engineering teams to work on joint projects, manage all files and documentation in an easy and secure way. The main features included in GrabCAD Teams are:

• Sharing project related CAD files between project members and client with different access levels.

• Keeping full history of all project’s files and their versions with Snapshots.

• Enabling communication around the CAD files in 3D mode - all comments and annotations can be added to 3D models without the need to download professional CAD software.
