Launched in 2016, Shapr3D made a radical bet: that the most intuitive way to model in 3D is not with a mouse, but with a stylus on a touch screen. What started as a curiosity—"CAD on an iPad?"—has matured into a legitimate, parametric, history-based modeling tool used by engineers, industrial designers, jewelers, and architects worldwide. shapr3d full

By building a CAD kernel that could interpret stylus input natively —pressure sensitivity for inferencing, tilt for view rotation—Shapr3D eliminated the "translation tax." The designer could now sketch a line, snap it to a tangent, pull a face, and fillet an edge, all without lifting the pencil or looking at a keyboard. This is where most critics get it wrong. They assume Shapr3D is a mesh-modeler (like Sculptris) or a surface-modeler (like Rhino’s early days). It is not. The Siemens Parasolid Kernel Shapr3D is built on Parasolid – the same geometric modeling kernel that powers SolidWorks, NX, and Solid Edge. This is not a toy. Parasolid is the industry standard for boundary representation (B-rep) modeling. Every line, arc, and NURBS surface in Shapr3D is mathematically precise to 10^-6 mm.

And that makes all the difference. Start your free trial. Model one part. You will feel the difference in the first five minutes. By building a CAD kernel that could interpret
