Popup3D

If you’re a bit nostalgic about the pop-up cards in some old stories book you used to read in childhood, and you’re trying to bring back such feelings, there’s good news: the pop-up books haven’t died yet, and there’s even specialized software for creating and editing designs. This is exactly what Popup3D aims to provide, through a minimalist yet capable editor, which features numerous purpose-fit tools that can help you create and print your pop-up card designs from scratch, in a few logical steps.

Although users that resort to Popup3D for starting out their design process presumably have at least a basic knowledge regarding the process and what a pop-up card design involves, we were pleased to see that the app comes equipped with a built-in sample library.

This not only makes things more accessible for novices, but also allows even more advanced users to get a better grasp of the process, and, if required, even start out from an existing design when making their own.

We felt that the overall demeanor of the application is centered on accessibility, and this is done without sacrificing any essential functionality. Having so numerous features offered as on-screen controls also enhances ease of handling.

Last but not least, the visualization and printing capabilities of the application are also on point, providing good ways of manipulating the loaded vectorial content, as well as the all-important printing parametrization.

This application addresses those who wish to take pop-up card design into their own hands and require minimalist yet capable software to help them along the way.
