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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing is bit high for small DIY enthusiasts with no revenue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user experience is SO thoughtful. It contextually changes what options are available, and has some sort of memory so if you were just looking at an arc, it will actually be more likely to connect a new line to the path of that arc. The iPad use is fantastic which is how I primarily use it, but using it on my Mac is great too. I use it every few days to design whatever I want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are plenty of tutorials up already, but it is a more niche product than OnShape, which is a more niche product than Fusion360, so I feel like the community to seek and give help is a little smaller, but that is a bit outside Shapr's control.

Also, there is the cost. If I didn't have an edu account, I likely would never have even given Shapr a shot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It offers a quick start and intuitive help for many design situations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve started to look slower while getting into details Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is great. It's easy to use, feature rich. The software is polished and mostly bug free. Their autosave and syncing features are definitely among the best I have seen. It has great export options and the history based mdoelling is exactly the UX you want out of a tool like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately Shapr3D have resorted to shady, scummy business practices in an attempt to overcharge and borderline scam customers. Their extremely confusing UI for adding more seats to your subscription leads you to add more than you actually wanted. Then when you try to remove an erroneously added seat, you can't. You must email support. Then when you email support they will claim and gaslight you by saying that you can remove seats by following the documentation. Only the documentation they send you doesn't contain anything about removing seats, because you can't. So they are trying all the usual tricks around playing dumb and time wasting in the hope that you will just give up and keep paying for seats you don't need. It's disgusting and taints an otherwise great product.

If I can add seats to my plan through the website. I should be able to remove seats on the website. If you can't keep ahold of customers without these disgusting business practices, you never deserved the customers in the first place.

Software wise, it can quite easily be overwhelmed performance and optimisation wise. Using the pattern tool to create a grid of hexagons for example, trying to move them around even with a top spec PC is challenging. I get the occaisional crash. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ipad integration is a great option for creating CAD models when sitting at a computer is not an option. Support for the stylus/pencil is pretty intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sensitivity of the stylus/pencil is lacking but this may be a hardware issue and not software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Comparing with fusion 360 for MacBook it’s very easy to study. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it has:

1) more instruments

2) upload my textures for rendering

3) cam Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User interface is great, especially integrated tutorials. You can start building your product in just few hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It requires subscription for advanced features, I would prefer one-time payment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Super easy to learn. We started uting Shapr3D for a 3D prototyping unit in an architecture school - easy and students could use it quickly, better for 3D printing than the modeling programs they are curretnly using. I was able to teach my 7th grader in about 2-3 hours. Easy to transition from desktop to Ipad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We find the snapping features sometimes hard to control Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
