If you have always considered the iPad as a device for reading the Internet, watching videos and games, then the team from Maide thinks differently. Having developed a set of programs, they turned it into an input device that expands the possibilities of managing the CAD system.

Although such devices already existed in the form of peripheral devices. For example, 3D mice from 3Dconnexion . Their cost varies from $ 99 to $ 400. Maide offers an iPhone / iPad app for just $ 4.99. By installing this on your iPad and additional software on a PC, we can get a very interesting alternative that allows you to control the CAD system using multi-touch.
Currently supported: SolidWorks, SketchUp, Rhino, 3ds Max, Maya.
