Thus importing STL would mean that we would have to convert a set of (maybe poorly connected) triangles to well connected surfaces. However, STL contains just a set of triangles. This means that the underlying representation in Shapr are parametric surfaces and parametric curves. Why don’t you guys support STL imports? I really want that!

Yes, the iPad Pro is really that powerful.

It can handle really complex models, and with an upcoming update (2 weeks), you will get our brand new, and super polished rendering engine, so even for really complex imported models you won’t notice any lag. Shapr can handle STEP and IGES imports, and you can use the imported models just like if you created them in the app. But you should always go with STEP if you can.

We are quite often asked what do these precision categories actually mean in millimeters.

This export format will create an ultra high quality, super precise STL from your model. If you want to use Shapr with CNC machines, or have a more expensive SLA printer, for example a Form2, you should go for Shapr3D PRO, and use the high quality STL export. This is why we are giving this for free: we are 3D printing enthusiasts, and we believe that Shapr will be one of the easiest and most affordable tools for hobbyists.įormat is the same, quality is higher. This format is intended to be used for 3D printing at home with your filament based printer. STL is a mesh format, which means that it contains triangles, and nothing else (in case of Shapr, otherwise you could store color and lighting information in this format).
