flyingshapes

flyingshapes is a virtual reality program developed for concept modeling and form-finding, capable of creating numerous 3D objects using a controller. You need to have a VR headset connected in order to be able to use it. You are then able to draw, shape, push and pull objects around with your hand while holding the controller.

Packages can be imported in the application by drag and drop. It supports the following formats: STEP, STL and IGES.

It has a surface building tool that allows you to both build rough forms and to refine small details. This is accomplished by pushing and pulling surfaces.

flyingshapes offers a 3D sketch pen tool function that helps to design and visualize concepts in 1:1 size. It allows you to adjust the brush size as well, which can help with erasing mistakes.

The taping tool is used to paint bold lines in a controlled manner. You can use the curve tool in order to refine initial drawings into precise outlines.

After you finish your work, it can also be exported in STEP, STL and IGES for further uses, such as 3D printing. You can also export your designs into traditional CAD software and continue to process them there.
