Based in Budapest, Shapr3D has developed a software that allows fast, easy, interactive 3D modelling of manufactured products, from robotic arms to bikes or shavers, from wheels to coffee machines.
It was founded by software engineer and young entrepreneur István Csanády, who claims they have developed “a game-changing technology”.
The company currently boasts hundreds of thousands of monthly active users, who are able to turn complex ideas into tailor-made 3D models in a matter of hours or days, instead of weeks or months. Tens of thousands of those users are paying customers, including big industry names like 3M, DeLonghi or Kenwood. Software engineers had to develop minimalist, performing and adaptive interfaces that help users create a sophisticated representation of whatever they have in mind – across interconnected desktops or mobile devices.
Among its clients, manufacturing company Sohbi Craft Poland. Its factory near Lysomice hosts some 300 workers, who manufacture metal components for the automotive and renewable energy industries, as well as for household appliances and consumer electronics. The factory is even licensed to manufacture metal products for the military industry. Its portfolio includes around 300 different products. “With the software tool, I can design everything I need: all the production elements, all the machines, devices, and then throw them into the simulation so that everything is properly designed practically to the millimeter, says Grzegorz Gos, Industrial Engineer at Sohbi Craft Poland.
Meanwhile, in Budapest, Shapr3D engineers keep working to improve the software´s capabilities and performance. So far, the tool has reportedly worked with and served teams in over 40% of Fortune 500 companies.
