The largest online community of professional designers, engineers, manufacturers, and students

As an online community of nearly 5 million product designers, engineers, students, and manufacturing professionals, GrabCAD offers a wealth of useful information and knowledge – and we want to share the very best of it with you week in and week out! The Digital Thread is GrabCAD’s free weekly newsletter to help make your life easier.

NASA needs your help getting people to Mars! They’ve asked us to host a challenge creating visual aides and a short concept demonstration animation that illustrates a new robotic additive manufacturing method. With $3,000 in prizes, you don't want to miss out on this challenge!

At its simplest, it is defined as something new – an idea, a product enhancement, or perhaps a new method. It can also refer to solutions that meet new needs. It differs from invention in a small but still recognizable way: the car was an invention; a driverless car is an innovation.

In honor of our Robotics Group in GrabCAD Groups reaching almost 1,200 members, we wanted to highlight some of our favorite robotic models. And, who knows, maybe one of these models will inspire you to submit a robotic animation to our NASA Challenge that’s going on now until August 24th.
