Why Shapr3D? “Within mins I was already putting toghether few shapes, within a week I was working on my first two kickstarter projects that I hope we will launch on Kickstarter this year. Shapr3D is a fundamental tool, part of what fundamentally I hope will become my full time job.”
Makers Empire is a global educational technology company, headquartered in Australia.With Makers Empire, teachers can harness the power of 3D printing to teach important STEM concepts, design thinking and 21st century learning skills. Students are empowered by an engaging design process to develop a growth mindset and important problem solving, analytical and spatial thinking skills.Today, Makers Empire works with almost 300,000+ students and 4,000+ teachers in Australia, America, Europe and Asia. Together, we are helping to create a new generation of creators, problem solvers and innovators.
Using 3DC in education is becoming increasingly popular. Our app is already integrated in innovation and 3D education curriculums in multiple schools across Europe, North America and Australia.
TWO YEARS AGO London startup Gravity showed off a wild concept for creating 3-D forms using augmented reality software. In the demo, a designer wearing AR glasses wielded an Arduino-connected pad and pen. As he drew on the plastic pad, his drawing appeared as a 3-D object that could be viewed and manipulated almost as though it was floating in air. The compelling concept hinted at how augmented (and virtual) reality could someday be as natural a creative tool as basic pen and paper.

BlocksCAD Easy, Open-Source Solid CAD for Everyone!
BlocksCAD is a drag-and-drop 3D Computer Aided Design and modeling tool designed for use by elementary-age children. It is simple enough to learn in a few short hours of instruction, but still has the features, flexibility, and power of a professional-level program. It was developed at Einstein’s Workshop, a hands-on learning center and kids makerspace in the Boston area.
Beetle Blocks is a graphical blocks-based programming environment for 3D design and fabrication.Use code to control a beetle that can place 3D shapes and extrude its path as a tube. Then make a 3D print!
