Overall Satisfaction with Onshape
We use Onshape to take customer designs and convert and break them down into manufacturable components. Most are sheet metal components that are placed into sheet metal templates [that] contain the bend calculations specific to our press brakes that generate the correct flat pattern to meet the formed dimensions specified by the customer.
- Multibody single part environment
- Don’t need to worry about hitting the save button, because there is none. All design elements are automatically stored and can be recovered at any time.
- Design on any device , even my phone.
- One mate relationships in assembly.
- Convert designs into sheet metal
- Cloud computing
- Some sheet metal functionality such as lofts
- Sketch in the drawing environment
- Formed sheet metal features such as louvers
- Place all electronic documentation of a product in one location and can access it anytime, anywhere.
- Share designs with customers that they can review on any device such as their phone.
- Approve designs anywhere anytime by getting an alert on my phone and quickly opening the Onshape app to review/approve.
Since everyone has a smartphone, I can communicate better with the workers on the shop floor by sending them a link to the model that they quickly look at on their phones.
