CADSketch turns freehand drawing into precise 2D geometry — and then into 3D parts — 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. • Draw and auto-constrain — strokes snap to clean lines, arcs, and circles; drag a point and edges snap to horizontal, vertical, or parallel • Extrude closed profiles into 3D solids, viewed as wireframe or shaded • Sketch on a face to add material or cut into a part, with the direction and result shown clearly • Import DXF drawings as sketches; export parts as STL for 3D printing • Turn text into sketches and emboss it onto a surface • Build multi-part assemblies with mates • Drag points to edit; the geometry re-solves live No account, no sign-in, and your work stays on your device.

Read full description

Quick3DModeling is a parametric 3D modeler for printable parts designed for iOS and macOS. Quick3DModeling turns simple parametric shapes into editable, print-aware projects without hiding the solid-and-hole structure. KEY FEATURES: - Parametric primitives: Build with boxes, cylinders, spheres, cones, tubes, text, and other dimension-driven shapes. - Solid and Hole CSG: Add and subtract material with an explicit, non-destructive Boolean tree. - Templates and helpers: Start with stands, hooks, plates, clips, brackets, holes, nut traps, spacers, and cable channels. - Exact inspection: Edit size, position, rotation, color, clearance, fillet, chamfer, alignment, and workplanes. - Print Check: Review mesh validity, bed fit, build-plate position, walls, details, and export scope. - Project and mesh export: Keep editable .q3dm files and create 3MF, STL, or OBJ for downstream tools. PERFECT FOR: - Functional parts, brackets, holders, spacers, and simple enclosures - 3D-printing beginners who prefer exact dimensions over free-form sculpting - Reusable printable templates and hardware clearances - Projects that need editable sources plus slicer-ready mesh files GETTING STARTED: - Create a project from the Library or choose a Template. - Add a primitive or Print Helper from Shapes. - Select it in the viewport or Outliner and enter exact values in Inspector. - Use workplanes, snap, measurement, alignment, and Solid/Hole roles to assemble the model. - Run Print Check, resolve blocking findings, then export 3MF, STL, or OBJ. PRIVACY & SECURITY: - Projects and geometry are processed locally. - QuickLibrary accesses only locations you add. - Editable .q3dm projects, version snapshots, and exports remain under your control. - No account is required for core modeling. FREE AND PRO: - Start with a seven-day ad-free trial. - Free keeps the full feature set and may show mobile advertising or a daily desktop support reminder. - Quick3DModeling Pro removes ads and reminders through a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.
