QUESTION / CONTEXTLet's talk about shapr3d
IMPORTANT GUIDANCE
Shapr3D vs SolidWorks/Inventor — what it can realistically replace and where it falls short.
3D scanning → Shapr3D — especially now that you have the Creality Pika coming. Using a scan as a reference and rebuilding a clean, printable CAD model around it could be a really nice workflow.
Designing 3D-printable parts — probably one of Shapr3D's strongest uses. Brackets, replacement parts, jigs, fixtures, molds, press-brake prototypes, etc. can be modeled extremely quickly.
Using it on your Galaxy S24 Ultra — whether the Android experience is actually useful or whether you'd really want a tablet/PC.
Shapr3D → SolidWorks — STEP/Parasolid export and how cleanly models transfer into your work environment.
Parametric modeling — Shapr3D now has history-based parametric modeling, so the old criticism that it's basically just a fancy direct modeler isn't entirely accurate anymore.
Cost/free version — what you actually get and whether paying for it makes sense when you already have other CAD software.
*FreeCAD is programmable.
