LMI Boosts 3D Printing Efficiency with GrabCAD Print Pro

Established in 1998, Laser Modeling Israel (LMI) has built a reputation over 25 years as Israel's premier industrial 3D printing service bureau. Operating from their state-of-the-art facility, LMI produces over 60,000 parts monthly using advanced Stratasys technologies, serving more than 1,600 active clients across high-tech, biomedical, defense, and industrial manufacturing sectors.

With GrabCAD, we can choose the proper orientation, lock it in place, and ensure we get the best cosmetic look of the part every time."

24-Hour Production Optimization

As a high-volume service bureau managing over 60,000 parts monthly, LMI needed to maximize machine utilization while maintaining consistent quality across their diverse fleet of Stratasys FDM, PolyJet, and SAF systems. Traditional production management methods were becoming inadequate for handling high-value aerospace and defense projects requiring meticulous documentation and quality control

SAF is the technology that you can squeeze the maximum out of because it's fast, it's printing a lot of parts, it's production. When you combine that with GrabCAD's nesting process and half-job capability, you can maximize the capacity of the printer 24 hours a day.

GrabCAD Print Pro Solution

Reasons why LMI selected GrabCAD Print Pro as their central production workflow management platform:

Intelligent Production Scheduling: Half-job capability allows automatic queuing of multiple print jobs, maximizing machine utilization during nights and weekends.
Orientation Optimization: Advanced visualization tools help technicians lock in ideal part orientation, ensuring consistent quality for critical components with strict tolerance requirements.
Efficient Nesting: Automated algorithms maximize parts per build, dramatically increasing productivity for high-volume production runs.
Accurate Estimation: Pre-production material and time estimates improve quoting accuracy and production planning.
Remote Monitoring: Web-based print monitoring enables staff to check progress from anywhere while maintaining quality oversight.

Maximized Capacity Results

LMI has significantly improved printer utilization through GrabCAD Print Pro's advanced scheduling features. The software's estimation capabilities have transformed their quoting process, making it faster and more accurate—critical advantages in a highly competitive market.

GrabCAD's software helps us with crucial estimations - how much material we'll use, how long it'll take to print. With the half-job feature, we can run 13 to 15-hour jobs and then squeeze as much as we want into a 24-hour period, maximizing our printer capacity.
