GrabCAD is the largest online community by, and for, Mechanical Design Engineers. Whether an engineer looking to share their talent and designs with the world, a customer looking to crowd-source solutions to their toughest design problems from our membership, in need of contracting directly with an engineer for ad-hoc design work in lieu of a full-time hire, or simply wish to download from our extensive catalog of free models, GrabCAD brings the power of the web to all mechanical design needs.
By using crowd-sourcing in sensitive design areas, the massive brain-power of large groups can yield many, many different nuanced approaches to the same problem. The customer has the benefit of harvesting many surprising ideas which can combine to make a vastly superior final product, in either performance or safety, as compared to any small group or individual.
Lürssen has been in operation since 1875 and is today a highly regarded shipbuilder with several yards in Germany. The company specializes in the design and build of luxury yachts, research ships and naval vessels alongside a plethora of unique SAR and supply vessels. (www.luerssen.de).
