Whilst I can understand the frustration of going through Tutorials and not being able to export a high quality STL file, I urge you to reconsider your other statements as most of them seem to be related to your frustration rather than facts. Which apps are you actually comparing to? Because it seems to me that Most other alternatives are expensive, often by a Large margin.įurther, you found this app to be “easiest to use”, shouldn’t that be worth anything? Since most other alternatives Actually are more expensive, and since this app is easier to use, shouldn’t the actual question be: How come Shapr3D is so cheap even though it’s so user friendly? I mean I could go on for a very long time… Solid edge, altium designer and microstation is also quite alot more expensive than Shapr3D. Fusion 360 costs 60 dollar/month, Solidworks 1295 dollar/year, AutoCad costs $5,315/3 years. Inventor is a popular 3D CAD software, the price-tag is 250 dollar/month, i.e.

Shapr3D provides full support for 239 dollar/year whilst SketchUp costs 699, i.e. Many people compare Shapr3D and SketchUp. New functions are added frequently, bugs and fixes are fixed at a weekly basis. During the years I as a hobbyist have used Shapr3D Alot has happned.

Also, if Shapr3D lowered it’s price, the evolution of the program would be slower.

Whilst I do agree that this app is extremely user-friendly, the app isn’t mainly targeting “hobbyists” as clearly stated above. You say 90%+ of users are hobbyists, where did you get that figure? And if this is true, how come people buy this “expensive” app even though they are “hobbyists”? The “About” section of Shapr3D states: Shapr3D is an innovativeģD modeling tool for industrial designers, engineers, product managers, manufacturers, and other design professionals.
