Is an internet connection required to use PixyCAD?

No. PixyCAD runs entirely on-device and is optimized to work completely offline. Your design files stay locally on your device unless you choose to sync them via iCloud.

Does PixyCAD support parametric modeling?

No, PixyCAD is a direct modeling tool, meaning it does not use a feature tree or history constraints. This workflow is designed to be much faster and more intuitive for typical maker tasks like designing brackets, adapters, and custom parts.

Which file formats can I import and export?

Free users can export low-resolution STL and 3MF files. Paid Maker users can import and export STEP, Parasolid (X_T), and high-resolution STL/3MF formats.

Can I use my subscription or purchase on both iPad and Mac?

Yes, PixyCAD is built natively for both iPadOS and macOS, and projects seamlessly sync across your Apple devices using iCloud.
