Sharpr3D an easy and cost effective software for creating 3D modeling.
Reviewed on 2023/08/31
Pros
The ability to start creating 3D drawing without having previous experience, at price point that's affordable to almost anybody from a beginners to a small startup business.
Cons
None that I can think of at the moment, I feel that this products is well supported and easy to use and offers a wealth of features.

I use this program many hours a day, in each of the projects I am working on. I have been able to advance much faster in the development of my ideas since the way of drawing is very intuitive. I still do not handle 100% of the available functions, however I have been able to do each of the parts that I could imagine. It has a YouTube channel in which they publish useful examples to better understand how some parts can be drawn.
Pros
A complex system can be designed in much less time. When you write to technical support, they respond and solve! They also listen to user suggestions. Drawing with Apple Pencil is very convenient. It is very easy to export the files for 3D printing.
Cons
I have not yet been able to couple parts and simulate movements without the design being disarmed. If you want to align the center of two single cylinders for example, I don't know yet the tool to execute this action with ease.

Shapr3D is remarkably simple to use, and great for creating quick and fairly simple 3D models, with a range of export options and a generous free trial.
Pros
What I like most about Shapr3D is its genuine ease of use. 3D modelling and CAD programs traditionally are very clunky and difficult to operate unless you have full knowledge of the programs. With Shapr, it is unbelievably easy to create 3D models and perform various standard 3D modelling functions (such as chamfering, extruding, intersecting and capping).
For similar functionality on PC, you would be paying far more and be in for a much less intuitive experience. Also, it exports to several different file types - STL and OBJ file formats are allowed thankfully.
Cons
What I like least about Shapr3D is rather ironically, its simplicity. For any more detailed 3D model creation and for advanced 3D functions (such as vertex painting, edge sculpting and modifying topology), it just cannot compete with more advanced modelling programs. Mind you, it is an iPad app and its ease of use makes up for this, and perhaps this isn't the program for doing advanced 3D work.

Very easy to use, I’m familiar with fusion 360 and FreeCAD and it was easy to pick up and start using. Also possibility to use callipers and design straight in the place where part is needed is really fun.
Pros
The ease of use when you can bring your CAD software with you. I’m designing parts too 3d print as a hobby and it was blessing to be able to use CAD on ipad with Apple Pencil.
Cons
It’s a little bit expensive as it’s lacking some of the features one would expect from CAD package, the biggest issue it’s not parametric modeller, so adjustment of parts could make it a headache, also no plugins to create gears. 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.
