Problem
Traditional CAD software often requires users to be tethered to a desk, limiting flexibility and hindering real-time collaboration in dynamic environments like manufacturing floors or client meetings. This inflexibility can slow down design iterations and create communication bottlenecks between teams.
Solution
Shapr3D is a multidevice CAD tool that enables designers and engineers to create and modify 3D models across iPadOS, macOS, Windows, and visionOS devices, online or offline. Built on the Siemens Parasolid kernel, Shapr3D combines direct and history-based parametric modeling with an adaptive user interface, allowing for rapid concepting, prototyping, and engineering handoff. The platform supports industry-standard file formats for seamless integration with existing CAD, CAM, and CAE tools, and facilitates real-time collaboration through secure review links and augmented reality (AR) previews.
Target Audience
Shapr3D targets industrial designers, engineers, product managers, and manufacturing teams who need a flexible, intuitive CAD tool for concepting, prototyping, and production.
