“The team at Shapr3D has taken mobile 3D CAD modeling to a new level, and the feedback we’ve seen from users so far is indicative of just how powerful this new app will be. “Finding a way to do professional-grade 3D modeling natively on a mobile app has been the something that so many in the industry have been striving for,” says Gavin Bridgeman, CTO at Tech Soft 3D. We were the first company to do this successfully,' adds Csanady.

The key to success was to integrate the Apple Pencil's pixel‑perfect precision and the touch-based user interface. Detailed 3D CAD design on tablets only became a reality after Apple released the iPad Pro line in early 2016, which uses a pressure sensitive, active stylus. 'After years of research, we found that touch screens are not optimal for precise engineering. By integrating these two technologies with Shapr3D’s precision touch screen interface, engineering and design professionals now have the power of desktop modeling on a tablet, the iPad Pro. Siemens’ Parasolid is the world’s leading 3D geometric modeling component, while HOOPS Exchange is the leading CAD translation software development kit (SDK). The newest release of Shapr3D, available on December 11, 2017, integrates Parasolid and HOOPS Exchange to allow solid modeling and data translation locally within the app, taking mobile CAD experience to a new level unmatched by any other CAD tool.
