GrabCAD, Inc. is a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based startup that created a free cloud-based collaboration environment that helps engineering teams manage, view and share CAD files.
GrabCAD was founded in Estonia in 2009 by current CEO, Hardi Meybaum, and Indrek Narusk [1] as a marketplace to connect engineers with CAD-related jobs.
[7] In April 2013, GrabCAD released Workbench,[8] a free cloud-based collaboration solution[buzzword] that helps engineering teams manage, share, and view CAD files.
[9] The idea behind Workbench is to replace costly and complex solutions[buzzword] that engineering teams often use when versions and revisions become hard to track.
[13] Currently there are four apps available from KeyShot, Autodesk, IronCAD and Solid Edge, but GrabCAD is focused on drawing in new CAD application developers to grow Toolbox's usefulness to engineers.
