“One Shapr3D user told me this is the first time software has truly supported his creativity as opposed to standing in the way of it.
The market for CAD modeling is estimated at $9 billion annually with 3% annual growth, and Shapr3D is currently growing at 10% month. Shapr3D has also amassed a significant social media following – including more than 220,000 followers on Instagram and 40,000 on Facebook – this level of word-of-mouth support is highly unusual for business software.
My generation, in particular, simply won’t tolerate bad software, and the CAD software world hasn’t changed in three decades.” We all want consumer-like apps at work, and sub-standard experiences just aren’t acceptable anymore. “I believe that if you are using a tool for 8-10 hours a day, it should fundamentally be better than what is on offer to designers today. “I came up with the idea for Shapr3D because I could see the urgent need for a 3D modeling application that is intuitive and easy to use on the move,” said István Csanády, CEO and founder of Shapr3D. New hires will be a mixture of both engineering and commercial roles, and the company is specifically looking for a VP of marketing. The Shapr3D team will use this investment to open new European office locations, create new distribution channels, and grow its headcount to 100. The highest-rated CAD in the App Store, Shapr3D offers all the necessary features to provide an unforgettable creative process. Launched in 2015, the startup has brought a revolutionary 3D modelling experience for many mechanical engineers, interior designers, graphic designers, CAD architects, industrial designers, jewelry makers, 3D hobbyists and more. Since Shapr3D’s launch on the Apple App Store in 2016, it has had over a million downloads. Shapr3D fills this gap with its mobile app for 3D CAD design. The startup previously raised $1.3 million in December 2017.ĭesigners today are creating very different products than twenty years ago – such as blueprints for 3D printed products – but are doing so using software that hasn’t changed in decades.
Budapest-based Shapr3D, which pioneered the 3D computer-aided design (CAD) modelling app for iPad Pro, has announced €5.5 million in Series A financing from top European early-stage venture capital firms Point Nine and Creandum (one of the original investors in Spotify).
