xShape is a powerful browser-based app that brings organic and ergonomic 3D design to life with intuitive, push-pull subdivision (Sub-D) modeling, no installation required.
Part of the 3D Sculptor role on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, xShape enables designers, engineers, and digital artists to create complex, stylized surfaces with ease and precision.
With cloud access, built-in collaboration tools, and secure data management, xShape allows you to design and refine organic shapes from anywhere, on any device.
Explore the 3D Sculptor Role
The 3D Sculptor role provides hands-on access to the xShape app, allowing you to quickly shape freeform, ergonomic geometries for products ranging from consumer goods to automotive parts and concept models.
What’s Included?
Getting Started with xShape
Launch the app through the Compass or Dashboards to begin sculpting in a clean, browser-based interface—no downloads, no hassle.
Sculpting Organic Shapes
Use intuitive push-pull tools to mold and refine subdivision surfaces. Work with reference images and sketches to guide your design process.
-- Subdivision modeling lets you shape complex forms in a natural way
-- Push, pull, crease, and smooth geometry directly in the browser
-- Convert Sub-D surfaces to solid geometry instantly for manufacturing
Creating Ergonomic, Production-Ready Designs
Design fluid, aesthetically pleasing forms for real-world use whether for consumer products, packaging, furniture, or automotive styling.
Seamless Interoperability
xShape integrates smoothly with SOLIDWORKS Desktop and other 3DEXPERIENCE apps—ensuring a unified design workflow from concept to production.
Collaborating on the Cloud
Work with team members and stakeholders in real time. Share feedback, iterate on ideas, and manage your data securely on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
