Does Shapr3D allows us to build a custom interface on top of Shapr3D’s API that fits our application’s specific needs, which allows us to offer a more seamless and customized user experience.
While it is amongst our long-term plans, at the moment we don’t offer a public API.
Hi! I am really interested as well if an API will be available anytime soon. Thanks!
Please Claude Code this feature.
Making the API public would be great. I’m a cabinetmaker that uses shapr3d to design with but I am very interested in speeding up my design process using AI and making the API public would allow for that.
I’ve seen some of the main competition does share the API so I can definitely see the benefit of following suit.
Hi, is there any update on this? The lack of API and MCP support is a major issue for me and the projects I work on currently pushing me to look at other software, unfortunately since I prefer using Shapr3D over any other software.
we live in a ai world keep up or get replaced
Shapr3D doesn’t currently offer a public API for building a custom interface on top of it or embedding Shapr3D functionality into a separate application.
If you can share a bit more about what you’re trying to build—automation, file import/export, quoting/configuration, collaboration, or something else—we can usually point you toward the closest available workflow or log it as product feedback for the team.
This is really more of a message to the Shapr3D engineering team.
I was inspired by this thread and was trying to think of a work around while we wait for it to be a first class citizen of Shapr3D. I recently watched an OnShape video and saw they use something called “feature script”. Turns out it is open source so I grabbed a copy of it and whipped up an interpreter and parser and a CAD kernel interface.
This is a pretty terrible video but here is an example of what I did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8wOauwDAPQ&feature=youtu.be
I put this together for you to test out. You should be able to map this to the parasolid kernel very quickly and run the test feature scripts. Let me know if you need some help on how to do that.
I am not sure you would want to use feature script in your product (there are a lot of other options) but I think this could be a nice way to do some quick R&D on this feature.
