Exciting news – the Neo is now fully integrated with GrabCAD Print! This means you can set up, generate, support, and slice files directly for the Neo printer, streamlining your workflow and simplifying the process.
Neo + GrabCAD Print Key Features:
- Efficient Setup Process: Get started quickly with intuitive support generation and build slicing.
- Advanced File Management: Easily import CAD files and use powerful repair tools to ensure your files are ready for printing.

Why This is Great News for You
One of the most exciting features is the customizable support system. With GrabCAD Print, you can easily manipulate support connection points and fine-tune your structure before slicing the model. This makes sending a file to the printer faster and more precise, optimizing the entire process.
Print Example: Venom
For example, consider the Venom print, created by Stratasys Application Engineer Chris Wentworth. It demonstrates how GrabCAD Print easily handles highly detailed and complex geometries. Setting up the print took about five minutes. It was printed in Watershed Black, standing around 12” tall on the Neo450S. The process took just under 24 hours to complete, using a total of 813g of resin. Watershed Black was the ideal material, offering a true black color and a smooth surface finish that highlights the intricate details of the model, giving it a really cool look. For about $200, you can bring your Marvel dreams to life.
This integration makes the process faster and easier, as GrabCAD Print has streamlined the use of the Neo, making it simpler and hassle-free. Additionally, Watershed Black’s superior resistance to moisture and chemicals makes it perfect for applications in automotive components, electronic housings, packaging, functional prototypes, and even end-use parts.
