Now designers and engineers can work anywhere at any time while also benefitting from the intuitive touch screen interface that mobile computing offers. Shapr3D is a Hungary-based startup that’s delivering 3D CAD for the mobile platform.
The next generation of CAD on mobile devices With the processing power of the latest Apple® iPad Pro® now rivaling MacBook Pro® laptops, it’s no surprise that Adobe® is bringing Photoshop® software to the iPad®. Modern tablets offer much better performance. But it’s only recently that such devices have introduced the user interface and performance that are needed for 3D content creation, which explains the limited innovation in mobile 3D CAD. Mobile devices have long excelled at consuming content, and a wide selection of media and entertainment applications have flourished.
Today, applications continue to deliver incremental enhancements, but what will be the next breakthrough? Despite innovation in mobile computing, most 3D CAD software trails other applications that take full advantage of this megatrend. At the same time, new applications have emerged to leverage transformational technologies like additive manufacturing and the cloud. Recent milestones include advances in modeling, such as direct editing independent of a design history, and the convergence of modeling with boundary representation (B-rep) solids and facet data in a common environment.
Continuous innovation has created impressive design capabilities across hundreds of applications. Computer-aided design (CAD) has evolved significantly since 3D modeling technology was introduced in the 1970s.
