Shapr3D Design Software

[Tossedman]

Has anyone tried out Shapr3D? Works only on an iPad with an Apple Pencil. It’s based on the same Siemens Parasolid engine as SOLIDWORKS. I've just started messing around with it and so far I like what I see. Seems very intuitive and there are lots of tutorials on YouTube as well. There is a free version as well as a paid version.

Do you have to use the Apple Pencil? If so I'm out. I'm not paying $100 for a stylus.

I have seen this and would like to give it a try, but yeah, the apple pencil...

Yup, only works with the Apple Pencil. It's all priorities I guess. How many thousands of dollars do you have tied up in toy trucks?

Right now a lot of us use Fusion360 which is free for hobbyists. If you already have an Apple Pencil and iPad then that's fine but that same money could go towards another truck upgrade.

I've got both the pencil and the iPad and get the education version of Shapr3D for free so upfront there's no cost to me. I'm not putting down Fusion 360, it's great and the price is right. My question was, has anyone else tried Shapr3D.

I've used a Wacom tablet and stylus for years in Photoshop......

Similar idea Mike. Just for design in 3D instead. You’d need an iPad though.
