Why Gravity Sketch

Since becoming a certified trainer and certified expert in Gravity Sketch, I have been teaching design courses in footwear and automotive design at universities in Europe (Zurich, Basel, London and Paris). And there are more to come.

Gravity Sketch: Think in 3D. Create in 3D.


  • Gravity Sketch is a new and efficient approach to realistically sketch, design, develop and illustrate complex shapes and products directly in 3D at 1:1 scale.
  • Gravity Sketch is an intuitive 3D design platform for interdisciplinary teams to create, collaborate and review in a completely new way.
  • Gravity Sketch bridges the gap between sketching and 3D freeform CAD surface modeling.
  • Working at 1:1 scale is powerful, intuitive, realistic and effective.
  • And most importantly, it's a hell of a lot of fun.
