The do-it-yourself industry is continuing to evolve as the market shifts; the latest interpretation involving Gravity Sketch. Gravity Sketch is an [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astropad-slate) app that allows consumers to design their own 3D model. This [3D model sketch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-cloudbased-design-tools) is then available for order. Once put through the system, the tangible product is shipped to the creator in just two days. Impressive.

Alban Denoyel, Co-founder & CEO of [Sketchfab](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-app-for-iphone), notes, "Ways to consume 3D content are exploding with mega trends like VR, AR and 3D printing, there is a growing need for super easy ways to create 3D content. This app is beautifully answering that need, by offering a very intuitive way to sketch in 3D with a touch screen." Gravity Sketch is ideal for students and teachers looking to illustrate their projects.
