Case Study: Jefferson County Public Schools streamlines 3D printing workflow with GrabCAD Shop

Using GrabCAD Shop to Streamline 3D Printing Learning in Schools

Jefferson County Public Schools used GrabCAD Shop to help manage growing demand for 3D printing across its engineering programs in Golden, Colorado. As more classes and printers were added, Matthew Brown and his students struggled to keep requests organized using email, Google Docs, and flash drives, which led to misplaced files, duplicate work, and long delays.

With GrabCAD Shop, Jefferson County Public Schools streamlined request intake, queue management, and file sharing across multiple printers and student operators. The result was a much smoother workflow, with project turnaround dropping from as long as a month and a half to about a week, fewer double prints and lost jobs, cost savings, and a better real-world lab management experience for students.
