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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
