Shapr3D is used by designers, engineers, and manufacturing teams for prototyping, modeling, and streamlining workflows with intuitive tools and multi-platform support.
Designed for the education industry, it helps teachers and students create 3D designs, & electronics simulations using coding or built-in design tools.
It has the best integration with its counterparts such as Fusion 360, Rhino and various competitive solutions.
Lack of material textures (carbon, alu, steel). Lack of assembly tools for more complex designs done on the go.
Very easy to use and to learn. Tech support is very responsive and the tutorials are great.
I restore classic cars and constantly have problems with acquiring plastic mouldings which are no longer in production. I thought that this would be the answer using this software with a 3D printer.
The software gives us the opportunity to think in 3D and show immediately what we think would be the perfect mechanism or solution for a given implementation.
Or check assemblies for collisions. Also the price is a little bit steep as it’s not a parametric modeller, and will mostly be used by hobbyists.
It has a YouTube channel in which they publish useful examples to better understand how some parts can be drawn.
With Shapr3D you can literally go from idea to completed design in just a few minutes for 3D modeling. If you are looking for an app for a semi-professional use case - look no further.
I really liked the ease of use. It’s very intuitive interface and performance were great.
Bad internet connection can frustrate you since it's a web based software.
I love the web-based function of this software. It is so nice to be able to access my library and work on projects from anywhere.
Also, it's difficult to use in modeling complex designs as it only offer primitives. It lack tools needed for modeling complex designs, for example creating 2D and extruding or revolving tools.
My overall experience with Tinkercad have been quite positive. I have used Tinkercad to onboard my students into the world of 3D printing and to help them develop confidence in the design process.
Sometimes it’s hard to edit models because I can’t rotate to the spot I need.
It is also great that tinkercad is updating often so not only can you 3D design, but now there is the ability to build with microbits, circuits, and more.
The app will crash on us a couple times, but you just have to pull it back up - it’s not a deal breaker.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
