We are thrilled to be a part of this pioneering journey to bring industrial 3D modeling and data conversion to mobile devices – a move that will have a lasting impact on the engineering world.” “The team at Shapr3D has taken mobile 3D CAD modeling to a new level, and the feedback we’ve seen from users so far is indicative of just how powerful this new app will be. “Finding a way to do professional-grade 3D modeling natively on a mobile app has been the something that so many in the industry have been striving for,” said Gavin Bridgeman, CTO at Tech Soft 3D. We were the first company to do this successfully,” added Csanady. The key to success was to integrate the Apple Pencil’s pixel perfect precision and the touch-based user interface. Detailed 3D CAD design on tablets only became a reality after Apple released the iPad Pro line in early 2016, which uses a pressure sensitive, active stylus. “After years of research, we found that touch screens are not optimal for precise engineering. By integrating these two technologies with Shapr3D’s precision touch screen interface, engineering and design professionals now have the power of desktop modeling on a tablet, the iPad Pro. Siemens’ Parasolid is a leading 3D geometric modeling component, while HOOPS Exchange is a CAD translation software development kit (SDK). The newest release of Shapr3D integrates Parasolid and HOOPS Exchange to allow solid modeling and data translation locally within the app. “We are creating 3D modeling for the 21st century, enabling 3D modeling anytime, anywhere in a new way that is much easier and much more affordable.”

We want to make 3D CAD modeling available for all creative professionals, and now, all you need is an iPad Pro, an Apple Pencil and some inspiration,” said István Csanady, Founder and CEO of Shapr3D.

“The barrier to entry with CAD software is high in the case of traditional CAD tools that are complicated and expensive. The CAD system runs Siemens’ Parasolid software and HOOPS Exchange natively on iOS, and specifically the iPad Pro. Now you can develop CAD designs on any iPad Pro thanks to a CAD system developed by Shapr3D, a mobile 3D CAD modeling company, and Siemens PLM Software and Tech Soft 3D.
