Draw it flat. Pull it up.See it move.

Draft 3D is the 3D side of ShopReady Draft. Draw a shape with the 2D tools, pull it into a solid, set it turning, and slice it for a 3D printer. Every size is typed, and every step is kept so you can change it later.

What it does

Six things, each one shown.

Press play on any of them. Each one is the program itself, narrated, with captions.

Draw flat, pull solid

A rectangle on the ground with its size typed. Pull lifts it into a block, and the height is typed too.

Draw on any face

Click a face and the view turns square to it. The part's own corners and middles are there to draw from.

Holes by screw size

Click where the hole goes and type its size, or pick a screw size and put one at each corner.

Spin a round part

Half a knob's outline, turned about a line into the whole knob. Type the angle for part of a turn.

Start in 2D, finish in 3D

A plate drawn in a 2D drawing becomes a 3D model in the same tab. The circle in it becomes the hole.

Sliced, layer by layer

The part on a printer's bed, sliced, with a slider to look inside at the walls and the fill.

One window for 2D and 3D

All of Draft 2D is inside it.

Draft 3D is built on Draft 2D. Open a 2D drawing and a 3D model side by side in tabs. A drawing can stay flat for good, or be made 3D when you choose, and any face of a 3D part can be opened as a 2D drawing.

  • The same drawing tools and the same snapping
  • Dimensions, notes and sheets
  • CNC jobs and the 3D simulator
  • Gears, cams and linkages, drawn flat first

Start to finish

A bracket from a blank model

About two minutes: a plate, a boss pulled up from a circle on its top, a pocket pushed in, the corners rounded, a hole through the boss and four screw holes set out as a pattern. Every size is typed.
