GrabCAD Announces Workbench Is Now Free

GrabCAD announced that starting immediately GrabCAD Workbench will be free for all users. This announcement means that engineering teams of all sizes will be able to share and manage CAD files effortlessly, accelerating the product development process.

GrabCAD Workbench is a central part of GrabCAD’s mission to help engineers unlock creative possibilities by connecting people, content and technology. Since its introduction in 2013, Workbench has seen rapid adoption amongst engineers facing collaboration obstacles like working in multiCAD environments, reconciling multiple versions of designs, and communicating with distributed teams.

“Our goal with this change is to reach more people. Returning to the free model of Workbench will increase the speed of adoption and support uninhibited product design collaboration,” noted Hardi Meybaum, CEO of GrabCAD. “We are excited to supply every engineer with a free solution that enables rapid iteration on design concepts, mobile access to designs, and generally increases the speed and quality of the design process.”

GrabCAD will continue to invest in Workbench and develop it as the tool of choice for CAD collaboration. Users can look forward to new features over the coming months.
