Naturally using your sense of touch!
Anarkik3D Design software has been developed for designer makers by designer makers. It embraces serendipity and play: beautiful forms evolve as you explore 3D modelling in a risk free environment; you work fluidly using a Falcon haptic ‘3D mouse’; there is less mental disruption than with CAD.
The haptic device allows you to experience ‘touching’ and ‘feeling’ your models as you create them – it is a more natural way of working.
Anarkik3D Design product is Anarkik3D’s Cloud9 haptic software bundled with the Falcon haptic device.
Anarkik3D Design package: Affordable
We use the most robust and affordable haptic device around, the Novint Falcon. Our software is lightweight, so you don’t need an expensive computer.
The software and haptic device combined will cost you around £680 (+ VAT). (Falcon price here) Pay once and you can stick with Anarkik3D Design V3.1. Updates are free and upgrades incur a small fee.
You can choose to pay for a training course or simply teach yourself using our online tutorials.
Anarkik3D Design; straightforward access 3D printing
Our latest version (V3.1) makes it even easier to create 3D digital models for 3D printing. You can upload files to a professional printing service. We have lots more information about 3D printing here.
“I am very happy with this new version of Anarkik3D”
Birgit Laken: Contemporary Jeweller
“3 rings in 5 minutes that were part intention, part accident, but look rather like pieces I have in other materials…exciting! It is starting to feel like a sketchbook”
Anne Earls Boylan, Contemporary jeweller

- ‘Touch’ and ‘feel’ the 3 dimensional qualities of virtual objects in real time
- Move freely and fluidly in 3 dimensions using the Falcon haptic device
- Control and constrain actions to one dimension with x, y and z keys
- Straightforward graphical interface
- Choose colours quickly with our 3D colour selection box
- Use common shortcut keys (e.g Ctrl+x to cut) for easy learning
- Easy creation of basic geometric shapes that you then manipulate
- Use Scale, mirror to create complex objects
- Use snap and Ctrl + F for precision positioning
- Rotate objects and the 3D environment with natural easy movements
- Change hardness/softness of objects to affect deforming
- Use boolean operations (subtraction, union) to create beautiful forms
- The following file formats are supported: .stl, .3DS, .OBJ and .wrl
- Easy to increase or decrease mesh complexity
- Configurable autosave so you don’t lose any work
