Shapr3D is commercial parametric solid modeling CAD software, that is focused on the Industrial Design and Manufacturing industries.

Shapr3D runs on the Siemens Parasolid modeling kernel[1] and is available for Windows[2], macOS, iPadOS[3] and VisionOS[4].

History[edit]

Shapr3D is developed by a company of the same name. The company developing Shapr3D was founded in 2014 by Istvan Csanady[5], and the company is based in Budapest, Hungary[6].

  • In March 2016, the first version of Shapr3D was launched publicly[7].
  • In 2017 Shapr3D migrated to Siemens Parasolid, away from OpenCASCADE [8].
  • In 2019, Shapr3D raised $6m from Point9 Capital and Creandum [9] to help fund accelerated development of it's software.
  • In 2020 Shapr3D won an Apple Design award for it's iPad app[10][11]. Shapr3D also became available on macOS[12], leveraging Apple's shift to Apple Silicon hardware.
  • In 2021, Shapr3D released 2D Drawings[13] and Shapr3D on Windows[14] including support for Snapdragon CPUs[15].
  • In 2022, Shapr3D raised a further $14.5M from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and existing investors. [16]. Shapr3D expanded into Visualization by adding PBR rendering[17].
  • In 2023, Shapr3D announced that it was releasing History-based Parametric Modeling [18].
  • In 2024, Shapr3D announced the availability of Shapr3D on Apple's Vision Pro hardware[19].

Features[edit]
