Shapr3D with Istvan Csanady (iPad Pros - 0111)

Season 1, Ep. 111

On this episode is a deep dive into one of the 2020 Apple Design Award winner’s Shapr3D. Shapr3D is a desktop class CAD drawing application for iPad that was showcased at the April 20th event. It is an Apple Pencil first app and now with the trackpad has a special mode designed with the trackpad and keyboard in mind. In this episode is my interview with Istvan Csanady, the CEO of Shapr3D. It was fascinating for me to hear not only about this wonderful app, but also learn about CAD applications, 3D printing, and a bunch of interesting manufacturing topics.
