    THE SOFTWARE

    PRICE Free (for up to two designs) | DEVELOPER Shapr3D | WEBSITE shapr3d.com

    Hailing from Budapest, Hungary, Shapr3D is a professional-grade CAD modelling app, based on the Siemens Parasolid geometric engine and HOOPS Exchange translation software. Designed for exclusive use with iPads that support Apple Pencil, CAD has been a tricky area to translate to the tablet format due to the lack of required precision. But this limitation has been overcome, thanks to the 9ms latency of the Apple Pencil and the performance of modern iPad hardware.

    Shapr3D is sensibly offered for free as an entry point to learn the ropes of the application, limited to low-resolution exports and a maximum of two designs but crucially, still giving access to all modelling tools.

    The Pro version requires a reasonable monthly subscription of $25 (or $240 billed annually) to unlock features that allow Shapr3D to be used in a professional environment, including import and export of images, and to desktop CAD formats.

    Shapr3D competes directly with the much pricier Onshape, a CAD platform that relies heavily on cloud processing, with interaction either via the web or tablet apps. But with Shapr3D, all processing is performed locally, and files are stored on the iPad, not in the cloud.
