It was fascinating for me to hear not only about this wonderful app, but also learn about CAD applications, 3D printing, and a bunch of interesting manufacturing topics. In this episode is my interview with Istvan Csanady, the CEO of Shapr3D. It is an Apple Pencil first app and now with the trackpad has a special mode designed with the trackpad and keyboard in mind. Shapr3D is a desktop class CAD drawing application for iPad that was showcased at the April 20th event. Mind you, it is an iPad app and its ease of use makes up for this, and perhaps this isn't the program for doing advanced 3D work.On this episode is a deep dive into one of the 2020 Apple Design Award winner’s Shapr3D. For any more detailed 3D model creation and for advanced 3D functions (such as vertex painting, edge sculpting and modifying topology), it just cannot compete with more advanced modelling programs. What I like least about Shapr3D is rather ironically, its simplicity. Also, it exports to several different file types - STL and OBJ file formats are allowed thankfully. With Shapr, it is unbelievably easy to create 3D models and perform various standard 3D modelling functions (such as chamfering, extruding, intersecting and capping).įor similar functionality on PC, you would be paying far more and be in for a much less intuitive experience.

3D modelling and CAD programs traditionally are very clunky and difficult to operate unless you have full knowledge of the programs.

What I like most about Shapr3D is its genuine ease of use. Comments: Shapr3D is remarkably simple to use, and great for creating quick and fairly simple 3D models, with a range of export options and a generous free trial.
