3D Modeling, Design: Shapeyard

Shapeyard creates mobile 3D models and exports described OBJ or STL files.

Our take

Consider for experimenting with simple model creation

Export can connect a mobile sketch to a game or printing workflow.

Keep in mind: Exported meshes still need scale, topology and printability checks; a modeling app does not include a printer or guarantee game-engine compatibility.

What you can do

  • Create models with the available shape tools
  • Export eligible OBJ/STL meshes
  • Prepare models for an external slicer or engine

Good for

  • Beginners testing a mobile modeling workflow

Consider alternatives for

  • Users requiring verified manufacturing dimensions or a complete game engine

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 16.0.
  • Exported meshes still need scale, topology and printability checks; a modeling app does not include a printer or guarantee game-engine compatibility.

Privacy & permissions

Shared or downloaded models can carry usage restrictions; avoid uploading proprietary designs without reviewing processing.
