The new sketching tools get users halfway there. The team has always had an awareness of the value of constraints-based design and it has been on their internal wishlist because the ability to offer parametric design tools puts the company in the big leagues and adds an important feature that otherwise requires people to export to a trad CAD tool but to add parametric capabilities adds a level of complexity for users and for the company’s designers. The addition of sketching is huge for Shapr3D, which began life as direct modeling tool. The Shapr3D team wants to keep their users at home and satisfied. They intended to build a full-featured design tool like any good software developer.
The ability to export models in standard formats meant that, if necessary, designers could fill out their inspiration with a legacy CAD program like Solidworks, Inventor, or Rhino but that was never the intention of the small but growing team of Shapr3D developers. At introduction, the product gained adherents because it offered an easy-to-use starting point for designers who relished the ability to get to work without having to fire up the workstation and all that entailed. It is one of a handful of modern design tools built from the ground up for professional design with hobbyist pricing.
What has been amazing about Shapr3D is that product was born on the iPad and designed to be used with a pencil. The company and its 3D modeling tool have grown rapidly, relentlessly adding on features to enable their product to compete head-to-head with the established leaders. Shapr3D, an ambitious company based in Budapest, Hungary, was founded in 2015 by István Csanády.
Shapr3D has added new features for sketching and documentation, lofting, text, and Windows support. Shapr has been regularly adding on new features and now it’s stepped up the price accordingly. It’s the little things that count, like 2D drawings, cross platform support including M1 Macs and Windows machines, and cross-sections.
