Overall Satisfaction with Onshape

Onshape is used for R&D on new products.
  • Low price
  • Easy to use
  • Does not need a very powerful computer
  • Drawing is difficult to use
  • Configuration builder
  • Center of gravity on assembly
  • Designed two new best selling products on Onshape
  • Rapid prototyping of potential new products
  • Cost is expensive but not compared to other software
I've used Solidworks for Cad and it is very heavy/intense software. Onshape is lightweight and easy to use. Solidworks has more add-ons like simulation and stress analysis which Onshape doesn't.
Onshape is great for startup companies or new companies looking to implement an easy CAD software for employees. Also good for hobbyists looking to learn CAD.
