Cloud AI CAD for makers, hobbyists and professionals
Design and refine in a minute.
An online CAD studio in your browser: nothing to install, and your designs follow you to any device. Chat about what you need and watch it appear in 3D. Then click a piece to tell the AI exactly which one you mean, measure with a click, fly through the inside, cut it open. Exact sizes, ready to 3D print or to take into any CAD program.
Start free. Nothing to install.
- Exact sizes, not a rough mesh
- Made for 3D printing first
- STEP, STL and 3MF files
- Online SaaS: nothing to install, open it anywhere
Is there room for a longer battery?
Only 1 mm. The longest that fits is 51 mm, and the lid closes 4 mm above it.
What will you design?
Say it in plain words, with the sizes you know. You can add a photo or a sketch in the chat.
How it works
From an idea to a design you can trust
- 1
Say what you need
Plain words, with a photo or a sketch if you have one.
A stand for my phone, 46 mm wide, two screws into the wall.
Built: 46 × 36 × 62 mm. Two 8 mm screw holes, 22 mm apart. This is version 1.

Point, measure, be exact
Click a piece and it goes into your next message, so the AI knows which one you mean. Click two points to measure.
Added to your message: lip, 46 × 6 × 18 mm - 3
Check it, then use it
The checks catch pieces that collide and overhangs that need support. Print it, or take the STEP file into a CNC or CAD program.

Design tools
Tools you understand the moment you see them
You point at a piece on a table and say what to change. These tools work the same way, and whatever you point at goes straight to the AI.
- Added to your message
Point at a piece
Click any piece or face. It is added to your next message, so you never have to explain which one you mean.
- 60 mm
Measure with a click
Click two points and read the distance. The measurement goes to the AI too, so it works from the real number.
- Section Z
Cut it open
Slice through along X, Y or Z to see inside: walls, pockets and the fits you cannot see from outside.
Fly through it
Move around and inside your model like a drone, with the keyboard or the mouse.
See every size
Turn on size labels to read each piece’s measurements, and a face’s when you point at it.
Hide, show, focus
Switch pieces and groups on and off to look at one thing at a time.
Real designs
Built in ShapeDis, and not only for printing
Drag to turn them. Both were made by describing and pointing.
A high-wing FPV plane
Cut into pieces that each fit a small printer bed, with wings you can swap. Shown here without the second pair of wings.
38 pieces, 597 × 680 × 246 mm overall
A robot rover, to place the parts
A model of a small robot rover with a microphone array and a lidar on top, built to find where each part goes and how low the scan line can sit.
24 pieces, 172 × 196 × 221 mm overall
What you can make
Brackets, clips, mounts, boxes and adapters
Everyday designs you can describe and measure. Each card shows a sentence you could type, and what it makes.
Cable clip
A clip that holds a 6 mm cable to the edge of my desk, 3 mm plastic, screw hole on top.
30 × 14 × 20 mm
Raspberry Pi mount
A plate for a Raspberry Pi 5 with four standoffs, 3 mm tall, to screw under a shelf.
70 × 45 × 10 mm
Drawer tray
A tray for my drawer, 90 by 60 by 25 mm, with one divider across the middle.
90 × 60 × 25 mm
Wall hook
A hook for a heavy coat, two screws into the wall, strong enough for 5 kg.
24 × 37 × 56 mm
Around the design
Made for designs that have to fit
Exact, not approximate
Models are built as real solids with exact sizes, so holes, walls and fits can be measured instead of guessed.
Checks before you use it
Overhangs, overlaps, exact sizes, and a slide-in test for pieces that have to fit together.
Every version kept
Go back to any version and see what changed. Nothing is lost when you try something.
Start from a picture
Attach a photo, a sketch or a screenshot. It is used as a reference for the model.
Files for printing and CAD
Download STL, 3MF and STEP, with recommended print settings. It works in the browser, on a phone or a laptop.
Nothing to install
It runs in the browser. Start on your laptop, check on your phone.
Pricing
Start free, pay for the AI work you use
Every plan comes with credits. A design uses credits by how much work the AI does, so a small change costs little and you never pay for what you do not use.

Questions
What people ask first
Do I need CAD experience?
No. You describe what you need in plain words, add a photo or sketch if you have one, and ShapeDis builds an exact 3D model. You change it by talking, or by clicking the piece you mean.
Do I need to install anything?
No. ShapeDis is a cloud-based CAD studio that runs in your browser. Your designs are saved online in your account, so you can sign in from any computer, tablet or phone and carry on where you left off.
Is it only for 3D printing?
Printing is what it is built for first, and the checks and print settings are for printers. The STEP file also opens in other CAD programs, so you can machine it, or keep editing it elsewhere. It does not make drawings for laser cutting today.
What do I get at the end?
A model you can look at from every side, with its sizes and a check of its overhangs and overlaps, and a download of STL, STEP and an unsliced 3MF for your slicer. ShapeDis does not slice or send anything to a printer.
Will it fit?
It is built to the sizes you give it, and the checks show overlaps and a slide-in test for pieces that must fit together. It can still be wrong, so measure and test before you rely on it. The Terms of use say this too.
Which printers does it work with?
Any that accepts STL, STEP or 3MF files, which is nearly every slicer, including Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer and PrusaSlicer.
Who owns my designs?
You do. Your terms of use say so in plain words: we only keep and process them to run the service.
Is my work used to train AI?
Not by us. Your chats and designs go to Anthropic to be answered, and under Anthropic’s business terms it may not train its models on them. The Privacy policy lists who handles what.
Does it cost anything?
You can start free with a one-time gift of credits. Paid plans give you monthly credits, priced from what each design really costs to make, and you can top up when you need more. Cancel any time.
What can’t it do?
It makes designs you can describe and measure: brackets, clips, mounts, boxes, adapters, even a plane in pieces. It is not for organic shapes such as figurines, and it does not replace an engineer for designs that carry safety-critical loads.
