CADSketch

CADSketch turns freehand drawing into precise 2D geometry β€” and then into 3D parts β€” on iPhone and iPad. Sketch with your finger or Apple Pencil. CADSketch recognizes lines, arcs, and circles and cleans them up with a constraint solver, so rough strokes become exact, well-proportioned geometry. Close a profile and it extrudes into a solid you can orbit in 3D. β€’ Draw and auto-constrain β€” strokes snap to clean lines, arcs, and circles; drag a point and edges snap to horizontal, vertical, or parallel β€’ Extrude closed profiles into 3D solids, viewed as wireframe or shaded β€’ Sketch on a face to add material or cut into a part, with the direction and result shown clearly β€’ Import DXF drawings as sketches; export parts as STL for 3D printing β€’ Turn text into sketches and emboss it onto a surface β€’ Build multi-part assemblies with mates β€’ Drag points to edit; the geometry re-solves live No account, no sign-in, and your work stays on your device.

About

Easy3D

Features
Read full description

Easy3D is a solid-modeling app built for iPhone and iPad. Create on one device, or connect two screens into a folding 3D workspace. Now you can also begin with a description or reference photo and let AI create a model you can keep editing. MODEL ON ONE DEVICE Start with boxes, spheres, and cylinders. Move, rotate, cut, extrude, and drill directly on the model. Choose a surface to sketch on, draw an outline, then drag endpoints and edges to refine it. Select a face and pull outward to add volume or push inward to remove it. On iPad, draw with Apple Pencil while your fingers adjust the view. On iPhone, touch controls keep the same tools within reach. Manual modeling works offline, and you can undo your steps. MAKE A SECOND SCREEN PART OF THE WORK Pair an iPhone with an iPad and, with an optional 3D-printed hinge mount, the phone becomes a movable second view. In Cut mode, the plane of its screen can act as the blade. A pairing code verifies both devices before they exchange model data. The second screen is optional; you can still build on either device alone. START WITH AI, FINISH BY HAND Describe what you want to make or add a reference photo to create a first model. Refine it in conversation, then continue on the same canvas with sketches, push-pull, and cutting tools. AI and hands-on modeling work on the same editable design, so you can start either way. EASY3D MAKER The free practice mode lets you try the core modeling gestures. A one-time Maker purchase lets you save and reopen local projects, use measurement, exact-size, and alignment tools, and export .easy3d files you can import again to keep editing. For 3D printing, export STL and check dimensions, wall thickness, and supports in your slicer. Maker also includes an AI allowance that renews monthly. It is not a subscription. CREATION ON YOUR TERMS Manual modeling needs no separate account. Local projects stay on your device unless you export or share them. Cloud AI requires internet access and your explicit consent before it processes the content you send. Easy3D has no ads and does not use cross-app tracking.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CADSketch at none against Easy3D's 1. CADSketch also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
