Easy to learn and use

With built-in tutorials and an adaptive user interface that predicts the tools you need, Shapr3D is perfect for every skill level, from CAD beginners to experts.

Simple and complex designs

Modeling is fast and fun, making quick designs a breeze. But you've also got the tools for more complex modeling moves, allowing you to expand your ideas beyond simple shapes.

Precise, watertight geometry

Shapr3D is a solid modeler built on Siemens Parasolid, the gold standard used by high-end CAD software. You won't get non-manifold errors or deal with a lack of precision when fitting parts together.

3D print your own models

3D printing design software allows you to bring your own ideas to life. Instead of browsing pre-built models for 3D printing, you can create custom designs in Shapr3D that are tailored to your space or fit exactly where you need them to.

From idea to 3D model

Create a model of the object you're envisioning. Use Shapr3D on the iPad with an Apple Pencil, or Windows or Mac with a keyboard and mouse, to sketch and design.

With our push-pull modeling approach, it's easy to grab faces and edges to shape your model. If you want to edit a part of your model later, history-based parametric modeling updates the rest of the design automatically.

Export to your 3D print slicer

Once you have a final model, you need to export it in a file format that's compatible with a 3D printer slicer like PrusaSlicer or Bambu Studio. Shapr3D exports 3MF, STL, and OBJ, the most common file formats for slicers.

No gaps, no printer errors

Shapr3D represents geometry using boundary representation (b-rep), meaning curves and shapes are precise. Models are watertight (also known as manifold), without gaps or leaks that can happen with mesh modeling software.

Using Shapr3D for 3D printing

3D printing is used by hobbyists, home DIYers, designers, and manufacturers to create objects for many different purposes. Shapr3D can help you design exactly what you need.

Home improvement and organization

Brackets, clips, fasteners, and other objects for home improvement or storage can be 3D printed to match your exact specifications. Create a desk organizer with the number of compartments and sizes you need. Design a hook to hold your wires and cables out of the way at a fraction of the cost of a similar product from the hardware store. Measure, model, and customize each object to fit.

Decor and design

No need to go searching for the perfect lamp to match your living room when you can create it yourself. 3D printing allows you to turn your ideas into reality. Design lamps, vases, decorative objects, and other pieces, exactly as you envisioned them. Hobbyists also use 3D printers to create toys, jewelry, party favors, and more.

Rapid prototyping

Ordering prototypes can take weeks to deliver. 3D printing allows for rapid prototyping that can be completed in a few hours. By using Shapr3D, industrial designers can quickly model several iterations of a concept and send them to the 3D printer, allowing them to test multiple ideas and get to a final design faster.

Manufacturing jigs and fixtures

When an assembly line goes down, companies lose time and money. Technicians and manufacturing engineers use Shapr3D to design simple jigs and fixtures that hold or guide equipment into place, which can be a quick fix for some line issues. These components can often be 3D printed in an afternoon, getting you back up and running in hours, not days.
