Use cases

Validate Designs Before Prototyping and cut Costs by 50%.

Reduce the number of expensive physical prototypes with real-time AR validation. Test designs in context before manufacturing.

Powering the worlds’ best manufacturing teams

Shapr3D: Interactive Digital Validation

Real-time high-fidelity digital validation eliminates costly physical iterations.

Days-to-hours prototyping cycle reduction

Immediate stakeholder alignment through AR visualization

Reduce the number of prototypes required for design evolution

How Shapr3D Eliminates Traditional Bottlenecks:
  • Real-time high-fidelity digital validation
  • AR validation in situ on Apple Vision Pro, tablet or phone
  • Instant design modifications during review sessions
  • Seamless integration with existing CAD workflows
  • Immediate STEP export for selective physical prototyping
  • Cross-platform collaboration for all stakeholders
  • Direct handoff to manufacturing teams

Proven Results: Conceptual Design

Automotive OEM - Dashboard Development
Consumer Electronics OEM - Product Validation
Challenge

Dashboard prototyping required expensive physical models costing tens of thousands per iteration, with design evolution making prototypes obsolete before completion.

Solution

Shapr3D's real-time AR validation eliminated most physical prototypes while maintaining design quality.

Result

50% reduction in physical prototyping costs and 50% fewer dashboard prototyping cycles needed.

Challenge

XR presentations took 1-2 weeks to set up, creating disconnect between current designs and validation models.

Solution

Instant AR visualization with Apple Vision Pro integration for immediate stakeholder validation.

Result

Prototyping cycles reduced from days or weeks to real-time collaborative AR sessions.

How it works

Real-Time Digital Validation
Build high-fidelity digital validations collaboratively during design sessions.
Import existing CAD files or create from scratch with immediate stakeholder input.
AR Context Validation
Use Apple Vision Pro to validate designs in realistic contexts.
Test spatial relationships, ergonomics, and functionality before physical manufacturing.
Live Design Iteration
Make instant modifications based on AR testing results.
Adjust geometry, materials, and configurations in real-time during validation sessions.
Selective Physical Production
Export validated designs for targeted physical prototyping.
Only create physical models for final validation or specific testing requirements.
