Overall Satisfaction with Onshape
We use Onshape as our primary CAD tool for Product Design and RnD. It is used across our business, from our factories to sub-vendors. What I like the most is that we can see, in real-time, where all of our projects are at, and there is only one file version that we collaborate over.
- Cloud file storage and file sharing keep things simple, and we do not have any issues with speed or file size across our organisation and across countries.
- A full spectrum of CAD tools including surface modeling and the editing of dumb solids is particularly useful when dealing with imported files from other CAD platforms.
- Release management and an integrated BOM is a great enhancement.
- Being able to see CAD as it develops 'daily' helps keep us on track and enables us to focus on issues more quickly when a barrier is met by an individual.
- I think for most product designers Onshape delivers what you need! Solid modelers are usually a tad weak in Surface modeling so for me, I would like to see a bit more depth in this area!
- Speed is improved three fold!
- Better visibility of files and therefore focus on the detail is also improved!
- NOI PDM required for file management!
For us, we made the permanent switch from SOLIDWORKS to Onshape. SOLIDWORKS is a great product that we used for many years, but the file management and the transfer of large files were often hampering our progress. Onshape is just a little more agile for us!
