Safe Distance – Intelligent Safety Perimeter Calculator Stay safe with real-time hazard exclusion zones, powered by GPS and smart algorithms. Safe Distance is your go-to app for calculating and monitoring safe zones during high-risk operations such as pneumatic testing, chemical handling, and blast hazard control. Key Features: Live GPS-Based Calculations: Automatically computes safe distance from your exact location. Dynamic Risk Radius: Factors in pressure, substance type, and other parameters. Weather-Aware Zones: Adjusts exclusion area in real time based on wind and environmental conditions. Instant Alerts: Broadcast evacuation zones to team members via SMS, WhatsApp, or email. Interactive Maps: Visualize safe/unsafe zones with intuitive color-coded markers. Use Cases: Pneumatic and hydrostatic test cordoning Blast zone mapping during demolitions Smart, Simple, Field-Ready: Whether you’re a safety engineer, site supervisor, or field technician, Safe Distance gives you the confidence to manage danger zones quickly and accurately β€” with zero manual calculations.

About

OpenShape3D

Features
Read full description

openshape3d is a direct-modeling CAD app built for touch. Sketch a profile, pull it into a solid, and keep cutting, blending and patterning until the part is done β€” no desktop, no subscription server, no file conversion dance. Geometry is computed by OpenCASCADE, the same open-source B-rep kernel used in professional CAD. Extrudes, primitives and booleans produce exact analytic surfaces, so a cylinder stays a true cylinder instead of a faceted approximation. SKETCHING β€’ Sketch on a world plane, on any flat body face, or on an offset construction plane pulled off a face β€’ Line, rectangle, circle, arc, ellipse, polygon and text-as-outline tools β€’ Endpoint, midpoint, centre, vertex and grid snapping β€” draw with Apple Pencil β€’ Trim, move/rotate gizmo, construction geometry, and reusable symbols β€’ A full 2D constraint solver: coincident, parallel, perpendicular, tangent, equal, concentric, symmetric and more β€’ Driving dimensions with inline arithmetic (type 25.4/2) pull geometry to value β€’ The sketch tells you where it stands β€” fully defined, or how many degrees of freedom remain SOLIDS β€’ Extrude a profile, or push and pull a face directly with automatic booleans: pull to add material, push to cut β€’ Revolve, sweep along a chained path, loft through sections, and helix β€’ Fillet and chamfer edges with live preview and drag-to-size β€’ Shell a body hollow, with optional open faces β€’ Union, subtract and intersect between bodies, computed off the main thread β€’ Split a body with a plane or a sketch profile β€’ Linear and circular patterns with ghost previews β€’ Move, scale, rotate, mirror, translate point-to-point and align VIEWING β€’ Orientation cube, six standard views, isometric and orthographic toggle β€’ One finger orbits, two pan, pinch zooms β€” the camera never locks up β€’ Section view that clips live against a plane, with a drag arrow and flip β€’ Shaded, shaded without edges, wireframe with proper hidden-line removal, and X-ray β€’ Marquee select with window/crossing semantics, and Select Through to reach a body buried behind others β€’ Isolate to hide everything but the selection MATERIALS AND REFERENCE β€’ Material presets β€” steel, aluminium, brass, plastics, rubber, wood β€” plus custom colour with metallic and roughness β€’ Drop PNG or JPEG reference images onto any plane and trace over them MEASURE β€’ Face area, body volume and bounding box on selection β€’ Two-point distance with X, Y and Z deltas over snap points IMPORT AND EXPORT β€’ Import STL and DXF β€’ Export STL, OBJ, 3MF, GLB, USDZ and sketch DXF β€’ Preview your model in AR with Quick Look
