Powerful yet approachable 3D CAD for iPad and Mac, built for fast modeling, precision, and a truly native experience.
PixyCAD is 3D CAD 3D printing enthusiasts, yet simple enough for anyone to pick up and start creating.
Most CAD tools are powerful but feel heavy, complex, and slow to iterate. PixyCAD focuses on the essential workflow you actually use to get from idea → solid model → 3D print, with an interface that stays out of your way so you can keep building.
Built for a fast maker workflow
• Lightning fast, fully on-device
PixyCAD is Metal-optimized and runs entirely on your device. Rotate, pan, and edit even detailed models smoothly, without lag, logins, or cloud delays.
• Lightweight, polished UI for quick iteration
Every control is tuned for rapid changes and experimentation. Adjust dimensions, tweak features, and try variations without digging through deep menus. You see what matters: your model, your measurements, your print-ready geometry.
• Ready for your 3D printer and other tools
Import and export in the formats you actually use: STL and 3MF for slicing and printing, STEP and Parasolid X_T for collaboration with other CAD tools or sharing with manufacturers.
Work where you want
Start a concept on iPad with Pencil, refine it on your Mac with a keyboard and mouse, then make final tweaks back on the couch with your iPad. PixyCAD keeps your workflow consistent across devices, so you can design wherever inspiration strikes—at your desk, in the workshop, or on the go.
Designed for a gentle learning curve
PixyCAD is built to strip away the usual CAD friction, so your first steps in 3D design feel as natural as sketching a doodle in a notebook. Instead of fighting complex panels and hidden options, you focus on shapes, dimensions, and ideas.
Whether you are designing your first printable phone stand or your tenth custom tool organizer, PixyCAD helps you get from thought to printed part faster, with tools that feel approachable on day one and stay powerful as your skills grow.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by this app. It’s easy to get started with, but still has enough depth that it doesn’t feel like a toy. I like that it works well on both Mac and iPad, and overall the experience feels polished. It’s still new and evolving, but already very fun to use.

I’ve been using the PixyCAD beta under the impression that, when the paid full release happens, there would be a one-time purchase option. There is not, and I think it is ridiculous that you are expected to pay a subscription for an app that runs entirely on-device - besides maybe the cloud backup feature, which you could just use iCloud for. This is a common gripe I have with many, many apps.PixyCAD is promising and has potential, but I don’t think it’s ready for a full release yet. I like the idea, and the liquid glass look. However, several bugs I have reported during the beta have not been fixed, and the interface is still somewhat confusing, relying on icons to know what you’re doing. And to redo, you have to… hold the undo button???
Developer Response
One of our main goals is to keep PixyCAD reliable, continuously improving, and always moving forward. A subscription model helps us do that by keeping everyone on the same up-to-date version, allowing us to focus on new features and fixes, and giving users more control over their subscription with both monthly and annual plans.Regarding redo, it currently works the same way as in many Apple applications, where a long press on Undo gives access to Redo, but we appreciate the feedback and will keep it in mind for future improvements.Please feel free to contact us at support@pixycad.com with any bugs or issues you encounter. We are committed to improving PixyCAD through valuable feedback from users like you.
Improved zoom control for smoother, more precise viewing. Now you can zoom in and out with greater accuracy to focus on the details you need.
Also included general bug fixes and stability improvements to make the app run faster and more reliably.
