Fast & precise 3D CAD built natively for iPad and Mac
PixyCAD is a native 3D CAD app for Mac and iPad, built for makers, designers and 3D-printing enthusiasts who want professional solid modelling without traditional CAD complexity. It combines an approachable modelling workflow with a professional geometry foundation powered by Parasolid. We are launching on Product Hunt to get feedback from people who care about CAD, 3D printing and better creative tools on Apple platforms.
Hi Product Hunt — I’m Andrea, from PixyCAD team
We built PixyCAD because many 3D CAD tools still feel too complex for makers and 3D-printing enthusiasts, especially when working on modern Apple devices. Mac and iPad users deserve a native modelling experience that feels approachable without giving up a professional solid-modelling foundation.
PixyCAD is a native CAD app for Mac and iPad, powered by Parasolid. It supports workflows from sketching to solid modelling, with Apple Pencil support on iPad and export formats including STEP, Parasolid, STL and 3MF.
PixyCAD is free to try with the Starter plan, and today we are mainly looking for honest feedback.
Thank you for taking a look.
