Shapr3D: Collaborative design reviews

Interactive 3D reviews replace static screenshots and disconnected markups, speeding up alignment

Reduce delays caused by unclear feedback and multiple review rounds.

Use live measurements and dynamic sectioning to understand geometry and constraints.

Open large models instantly and start reviewing on any device — no CAD licenses needed.

How Shapr3D eliminates traditional bottlenecks:
  • Real-time, interactive model access for all stakeholders during design reviews
  • Section views and measurements to validate clearances, fit, and constraints
  • Direct model interaction for proposing changes or testing design alternatives
  • Instant context for safety, ergonomics, manufacturability, and aesthetic considerations

Proven results: design reviews

Global automotive manufacturer—Aligning design and engineering in daily vehicle reviews
Challenge

Design and engineering teams were relying on static screenshots and disconnected markups during critical surface and feasibility reviews. Discussions stretched across multiple tools — from CATIA to Photoshop — and simple issues often required multiple meetings and delayed iterations.

Solution

By introducing Shapr3D on iPad and Vision Pro, teams created shared 3D sessions where designers, engineers, and specialists could section the model, sketch directly on geometry, and explore solutions together — live, in the review.

Result
  • Replaced screenshots and back-and-forth markups with live model reviews
  • Reduced iteration cycles from days to hours
  • Enabled design and engineering to align faster on manufacturability and regulations
  • Improved communication quality with in-model sketching and visual clarity
  • Eliminated confusion caused by screen sharing and tool switching
