Users can model with the entire toolset and export models in low-resolution for free. The app operates using a freemium business model. Educational institutes who use the software include MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Cambridge, University of Tokyo, and Singapore Polytechnic, while professionals include product designers, engineers, architects, and jewelry designers. Shapr3D has both commercial and academic users. Shapr3D is the first CAD system to run Parasolid™ software natively on iPad. In 2017, the team partnered with Siemens PLM to integrate the Siemens™ Parasolid™ geometric modeling kernel.

The app was originally developed using the OpenCASCADE kernel. It is compatible with all major desktop CAD software, and lets users directly import X_T, STEP, IGES, STL, DXF, DWG, JPG, PNG files and export X_T, STEP, DWG, DXF, STL, OBJ files. The manufacture-grade 3D modeling tool uses a Siemens™ Parasolid™ geometric modeling kernel and D-Cubed™ sketch engine. Shapr3D is a solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD) app that provides a complete direct modeling feature set on Apple Pencil compatible iPads. No direct exports only PDF & JPEG (But, 'If you would like other formats please let us know at the Send Request Form.Provides a complete direct modeling feature set on Apple Pencil compatible iPads.Works with Apple Pencil but seems it is not required.Pricing is a bit confusing (see below these pricing models just don’t work for me too much work figuring them out/deciding what you need).The have a great User Guide which is really a Quick Tips/Quick Start guide.I really liked this at first look, as it does a great job it seems with allowing you to creat 3D models starting from images, but, the pricing is confusing and there are currently no export options other than PDF and JPEG.

Just know that it is currently really a standalone app. Note: This isn’t really a good SU option as there is no export, but I came across it while looking and it appears impressive. Only refer to the in-app list of features that are available with each of the subscription types (Essentials, Premium, Pro).” Updated pricing info from the developers: “ Unfortunately, Apple keep all previous purchases on their list so it looks confusing.
