Shapr3D Reviews & Product Details

The user experience is SO thoughtful. It contextually changes what options are available, and has some sort of memory so if you were just looking at an arc, it will actually be more likely to connect a new line to the path of that arc. The iPad use is fantastic which is how I primarily use it, but using it on my Mac is great too. I use it every few days to design whatever I want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are plenty of tutorials up already, but it is a more niche product than OnShape, which is a more niche product than Fusion360, so I feel like the community to seek and give help is a little smaller, but that is a bit outside Shapr's control.

Also, there is the cost. If I didn't have an edu account, I likely would never have even given Shapr a shot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is great. It's easy to use, feature rich. The software is polished and mostly bug free. Their autosave and syncing features are definitely among the best I have seen. It has great export options and the history based mdoelling is exactly the UX you want out of a tool like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately Shapr3D have resorted to shady, scummy business practices in an attempt to overcharge and borderline scam customers. Their extremely confusing UI for adding more seats to your subscription leads you to add more than you actually wanted. Then when you try to remove an erroneously added seat, you can't. You must email support. Then when you email support they will claim and gaslight you by saying that you can remove seats by following the documentation. Only the documentation they send you doesn't contain anything about removing seats, because you can't. So they are trying all the usual tricks around playing dumb and time wasting in the hope that you will just give up and keep paying for seats you don't need. It's disgusting and taints an otherwise great product.

If I can add seats to my plan through the website. I should be able to remove seats on the website. If you can't keep ahold of customers without these disgusting business practices, you never deserved the customers in the first place.

Software wise, it can quite easily be overwhelmed performance and optimisation wise. Using the pattern tool to create a grid of hexagons for example, trying to move them around even with a top spec PC is challenging. I get the occaisional crash. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Super easy to learn. We started uting Shapr3D for a 3D prototyping unit in an architecture school - easy and students could use it quickly, better for 3D printing than the modeling programs they are curretnly using. I was able to teach my 7th grader in about 2-3 hours. Easy to transition from desktop to Ipad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We find the snapping features sometimes hard to control Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the connection that the program has made with my iPad. I use it every day, its veru easy to implement and integrate it in my work process. It's very easy to create my ideas from simple sketches. It's easy to create the designs, right with my hand and my Apple Pencil. There's no better interaction than this when it comes to capturing ideas. The customer support is amaznig, there is a huge community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is possible that it lacks some basic tools, such as the option to create cones, which is essential for designing models that will be molded later. In the field of textures, I would like to see everything in a more realistic image, although it already looks spectacular right now. Exporting the V's for use in other rendering software is somewhat complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using iPad and Apple Pencil makes the process easy and accurate to create detailed models. There are so many tools and features that it takes a while to learn but I have been very surprised at what it can do. Much easier than Sk....p Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I only have a need to make one model for my work which I did using the free version. If I need to do more modelling the price would be ok for the full version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Greatest of this program is pencil! It's very fast. I recommend for 3d printing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hmmm... the price is too high for those of us who are learning to work and we cannot export a circle as a circle, but we get a polygon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The application is quite intuitive and you can easily do complex shapes without much work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Considering that there's other existing optins for 3d modeling it's kind of a shame the path they decided to take with a paid subscription that is quite limiting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- it is easy to use

- on iPad it feels like natural designing

- very smart learning curve via embedded tutorials Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- a bit more expensive, but still I love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The parameterization of the work and the time saved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It still does not have the characteristic of making one object twin of the other (Component object). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't yet find anything positive that another software can not do Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software requires you to make an account and maintain internet access to use.

This software requires you to sit through a lengthy (6+ minute) video upon start-up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
