DrawPad Pro.stl
iOS Universel / Graphisme et design
DrawPad Pro.stl turns your 2D sketches into 3D-printable models right on iPad. Draw a shape, tap Extrude, and watch the canvas itself tilt into a live 3D view — then export a watertight binary .stl file ready for your slicer.
Built for makers, not five-year-olds. A precise outline pen, shape snap for exact primitives, layered text in any system font, and a real polygon triangulator that handles holes through your model. Designed from the ground up for Apple Pencil on iPad.
— SKETCH TO 3D —
• Draw closed outlines with a precision pen built on PencilKit
• Shape Snap auto-cleans rough freehand into exact rectangles, circles, triangles, stars, polygons and more
• Insert Shape — stamp clean primitives (circle, square, triangle, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, star, heart) by dragging their bounding box on the canvas
• Layers for stacking multiple outlines, each of which becomes a separate 3D body in the exported model
• Mirror & Pattern tool with vertical, horizontal, four-way and radial symmetry (2–16 slices) — draw one cog tooth, get the whole cog
• Bucket fill for coloring your 2D designs, without breaking the vector strokes underneath
— REAL 3D EXTRUSION —
• Tap Extrude and the canvas tilts into a live SceneKit 3D view
• Scrub the height slider to change the extrusion depth in real time
• Orbit the model freely with a drag — fully-lit, physically-based shading, no loading screens
• Holes through the model: draw a cog outer and a circle for the axle and the extruder produces a hollow body, not a filled disc
• Smooth cylindrical walls — adaptive segment count means round shapes render as real cylinders, not faceted prisms
— 3D TEXT —
• Drop in text boxes using any system font installed on your iPad
• Glyphs are extruded as true 3D letters with correct holes in O, A, B, D, P, R — powered by SceneKit's glyph tessellator
• Drag to reposition, two-finger edit content, pick from a searchable font picker with live preview
— EXPORT STL —
• Writes industry-standard binary STL files
• Compatible with Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer and every mainstream 3D printer
• Share directly to Files, AirDrop, email, or any installed slicer app
• The geometry you see on screen is exactly what ends up in the file
— PRO TOUCHES —
• Built exclusively for iOS 16 and later on iPad and iPhone
• Apple Pencil support with pressure-aware strokes and palm rejection
• Autosave catches you if the app is swiped away mid-sketch
• No subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases, no analytics, no
tracking
• Works completely offline — your designs never leave your device
DrawPad Pro.stl is a one-time purchase. Your first 3D print starts with a sketch.
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
The 3D Workshop grows up — this one's for the printing hobbyists who've been with us from the start.
New:
• Vertical Split is here. Designs wider than your printer's bed now split into 2–5 side-by-side segments with puzzle interlocks carved right into the cut: knobs for alignment, tabs for registration, or dovetails that slide together from above and lock against pulling apart. The female side of every joint is sized by your chosen fit (Loose / Press / Glue), cuts automatically steer around holes in you design, and rings split into C-pieces — not solid halves. Export the set and print one segment per plate.
• Fitting keys. Flip one toggle and instead of carved joints, BOTH sides of every cut get sockets and separate key pieces print alongside — dowel pins for stacked splits, bowtie keys for vertical ones — bridging each joint for a solid, positive-locking assembly with flush cut faces. Keys export as their own STL in the set.
• A real build plate. Your model now sits on a 220 × 220 mm bed with a millimetre grid, just like your slicer — so you can tell at a glance how big the print is and whether it fits.
• View buttons. Jump straight to Top, Front, Side, or 3D views, or tap Fit to frame your model — no more orbiting off into space.
• Tap any object to select it (it glows blue) and a full properties panel appears: spin, tilt on two axes with 15° snapping, scale, and 1 mm nudge arrows.
• Drop to Plate and Lay Flat buttons put your part flat on the bed, ready to print — perfect after tilting or importing a model.
• Live dimensions. A readout shows the exact width × depth × height in millimetres for the selected object or the whole scene — the same numbers your slicer will report.
• Models render with realistic physically-based shading, so the preview finally looks like the print.
Fixed:
• What you arrange is now what you print. Moves, rotations, scales, duplicates, hidden objects, and imported 3D files are all baked into the exported STL. Previously the export quietly ignored the workshop arrangement.
• Rotating an object now spins it in place. It used to swing around a far-off point like a tetherball.
• Two-finger drag now moves objects across the plate and follows your finger from any camera angle. Dragging used to lift parts into the air and invert after orbiting.
• Duplicates no longer vanish when you adjust a slider.
• Imported 3D files land where the file says they should, and they export along with everything else.
• Orbit below the plate and it fades away so you can inspect the underside of your model.
Thanks for printing with DrawPad Pro.stl.
