Shapr3D Reviews

They have tutorials to learn you how to use the program

Nothing so far. Just got it last a couple of weeks ago

I can learn myself how to design 3d stuff

Shapr3D is powerful enough to create detailed models, yet simple enough that I can build and iterate quickly and easily, even when I’m on the go.

In Sketch mode, the snap lines can be a bit buggy at times, and they don’t always let me place a point exactly where I want.

I used to use a CAD program called TinkerCAD. It was pretty fun and easy to work with, but the engine just didn’t let me create the kind of detailed models I wanted.

.The learning curve is fast, and the program runs very smoothly despiste running in an envirmoment as limited as an iPad

The isolate comand can’t hide objects, only isolate the selected

I used the program to make conceptual models

I find it easy to create everything in 3D thanks to its user-friendly design. I appreciate that I don't need to make things complicated to accomplish specific tasks. Since I primarily use it for automation, I value the technology from Shapr3D, which ensures that my automation components are always clean and precise.

At this point, I haven’t found any drawbacks to Shapr3D. I use several other applications, but I find Shapr3D to be superior in comparison. Perhaps in the future, Shapr3D could introduce technology that allows for animations with the components.

What benefits me most is that Shapr3D is user-friendly and works seamlessly on my iPad Pro. I feel that this combination has really solved a major need for me.

Working with Shapr3D is extremely intuitive and easy to learn. I find it particularly practical that Shapr3D is available for the iPad and you can create sketches directly with the Apple Pencil. The export functions are excellent, as almost every file format is supported. Thanks to cloud synchronization, switching between different devices is uncomplicated. The app runs very smoothly on the iPad, and you rarely have to wait for content to load. I am a big fan of Shapr3D and can recommend the software to anyone who wants to implement parametric CAD design on the iPad – ideally with Apple Pencil. The operation is really simple, fun, and offers a lot of room for creativity. Shapr3D is also well-suited for renderings - there is a very large number of materials. The software is also recommended on a Windows computer, even if the 3D control seems a bit less intuitive there. I use Shapr3D at least once a week as a student and it is fun to work with the software every time. The implementation on the iPad is very well designed, you have all the functions you need and yet it is very clearly arranged. Shapr3D's customer support responds extremely quickly and is very helpful.

My biggest criticism of Shapr3D is the price. For private individuals, 300 euros per year is simply too expensive. Fortunately, there is also a basic option from Shapr3D that is free and allows you to have up to 2 projects. And when it comes to actually designing the objects in Shapr3D, there are really no restrictions because almost all functions are available. The problem, however, is that when you want to export the 3D model, you have very limited options regarding file formats, and what annoys me greatly is that you cannot export the 3D models in good resolution. Sometimes the 3D models become practically unusable due to this low resolution, because a circle, for example, then resembles an octagon. After some time using the Basic version of Shapr3D, I fortunately found out that there is a free Pro version of Shapr3D for students. On the Shapr3D website, you can send your student ID to customer support, and they will then activate the account for the Pro version. I am very pleased that Shapr3D is free for students, as it is a very good opportunity for students to become familiar with such programs and to realize their own projects without having to pay 300 euros per year. In general, I also believe that the functions in Shapr3D are well worth 300 euros, but it is still too much money for ordinary private individuals/hobbyists.

I have never really had any problems with Shapr3D. The only difficulty I have had so far was longer loading times when working on very detailed sketches with many different lines, but that is most likely not due to the software, but because I am working on the iPad.

1. Top notch UI/UX. 2. Truly a macOS-native app with no legacy notion of how a 3D CAD should work 3. Proper trackpad support, so that you don't have to buy an additional input device

Pricing is bit high for small DIY enthusiasts with no revenue.

Allowed me to start designing custom 3

I love the parametrics and the fact that components can be linked to test designs

It would be great if parameters could be grouped and located separate from the history. Also, if it would be possible to create parameters prior to adding them to measurements it would be brilliant.

I am a professional architect and industrial designer and though I have incredible softwares on my PC, I wish I could build models (especially in terms of industrial design) on my iPad also.

User interface is great, especially integrated tutorials. You can start building your product in just few hours.

It requires subscription for advanced features, I would prefer one-time payment.

I modeled whole 2 store house for my parents, it's amazing.

Considering the high technical level and precision of Shapr3D the user interface is very well organized and the search function work very well. The app on the iPad is also super responsive and I have never experienced crashed (have only done smaller projects). Export of project is very easy.

The technical level of this all is very high including a lot of functions. Hence is over all not entirely intuitive to use. I often have to find guides and instructions for what I want to do, and it takes som time to get use to the logic of the set up (e.g. sketches and 'building' mode)

The need for making high resolution 3d models for 3d printing

I'm using Shapr3D to define and grow a physical product business. Shapr3D is hard-core CAD tooling that is wrapped in layers that can be opened by first-time creators and 30 year veterans. What do I like best? It is fun to use and very gratifying to see ideas come to life on screen.

Like most CAD products, there is a learning curve. YouTube videos and the community helps. It is also priced aggressively for a non-corporate user.

I need enough CAD tooling to build prototypes and I need it to be precise and limitless. Shapr3D delivers.
