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.
