What Shapr3D is
Shapr3D is 3D CAD software for direct and history-based parametric modeling, with a built-in render engine and 3D-print export. Its Basic plan is free and allows two projects; it includes 20 generations. Pro is listed at $299 a year, billed annually excluding VAT per Editor seat, and permits unlimited projects. A 14-day Pro trial unlocks all features, but requires a credit card and charges on day 14 unless canceled at least 24 hours beforehand. Shapr3D runs natively on Windows and macOS, and is also supported on iPadOS and visionOS. It works offline, keeps designs locally, and syncs them to Shapr3D Cloud when connected. Its import and export support spans many CAD and visualization formats, including STEP, XT, IGES, DWG, STL, 3MF, OBJ, and PDF. Review Links enable browser-based viewing and comments on models, drawings, and visualizations. Pro includes shared team projects, contributors, centralized storage, and secure review links. Enterprise options include self-hosting and on-premises deployment.
