What it is

Shapr3D is 3D CAD software for direct and history-based parametric modeling. It includes a built-in render engine and can export models for 3D printing. The free Basic plan costs 0.00 USD per month and allows 2 projects, with 20 generations included. Pro costs 299.00 USD per year, billed annually excluding VAT per Editor seat, and permits unlimited projects. A 14-day Pro trial provides access to all features, but requires a credit card and charges on day 14 unless canceled at least 24 hours beforehand. Shapr3D works offline, saves designs locally, and syncs them to Shapr3D Cloud when connected. It runs natively on Windows, macOS, iPadOS, and visionOS; requirements include Windows 10 version 2004 or later, macOS Sonoma 14.0 or later, and iPadOS 17 or later. It imports and exports many CAD formats, including XT, STEP, IGES, DWG, STL, and 3MF. Browser-based Review Links support viewing and commenting on models, drawings, and visualizations.

Who it suits. Shapr3D suits people who need parametric 3D modeling, CAD file exchange, or 3D-print export. Its Pro collaboration features are intended for teams working with shared projects and review links.
