About Shapr3D
Shapr3D is a 3D CAD modeling application for iPadOS, macOS and Windows. It is built to make professional CAD approachable, with an interface that works on tablets as well as desktops, so designers can sketch and model anywhere. Use cases listed include 3D printing, woodworking, architectural concepts, industrial design and manufacturing teams.
Its tools include sketches with constraints, 3D modeling, 2D technical drawings, and visualization with materials, environments and AI renders. It supports full-scale augmented reality models, an immersive view on Apple Vision Pro, review links and a web viewer for sharing, team spaces for file management, and import and export for manufacturing and 3D print-ready files. Enterprise options cover security and compliance and compatibility with existing CAD and PLM systems. Shapr3D is a proprietary commercial product that can be downloaded for free.
