Great CAD Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Cloud based platform.,
All the 3D functionalities of a clunky CAD tool being made accessible without installing anything in your workstation!
It can be accessed using a tablet too

What do you dislike about the product?
Drawing capabilities are not at par with other CAD tools. But I think it will be remedied soon, since the update comes more often than not these days.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working in the comfort of my home, with real time discussion with colleagues about the product I am modelling.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Onshape uses this so called Part Studio that may be confusing to first time users. The idea here is to unlearn what you have from other CAD tools and embrace what Onshape has. It will be a lot easier that way, and you will soon fall in love with its unique but great olatform.
30 years in the design field and this is the best CAD system that I have ever used.
What do you like best about the product?
Onshape is very powerful yet easy to use and I never loose data. I can be out on the shop floor and open models with my phone and verify information.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is missing a few features, but they are constantly making improvements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Onshape for everything from modeling complex draft on castings and shutoff on cavity models to simulating motion of a 6 axis robot to validating the fit and function of a CNC fixture in a 5 axis CNC machine.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Once you try it you will love it. They have solved so many of the painful things about CAD software all the while keeping it very user friendly.
its the future
What do you like best about the product?
OnShape allows for real engineer to engineer, and full team collaboration. it solve the ongoing issues of constant updates, to both software and hardware. it is intuitive to use once you forgot the old ways of how software used to work.
What do you dislike about the product?
my only concern is overall cloud security for all things in the cloud as well as the loss of all usable materials if and when you do not have a connection. but for the most part we can no longer perform our tasks without a connection so it is one of those new regalities we just need to get used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we definitely are seeing a reduction in overall engineering time on projects. we really benefit form the ability to easily share our data with others.
Just great software with new philosophy!
What do you like best about the product?
Collaboration in realtime, no installation, instant updates with no need to update software, cheaper hardware compared to other CAD software. Commenting feature is great, cloud storage with no file sharing is wonderful!
What do you dislike about the product?
Not very well every evolved drawing creation tools, sometimes slow loading of projects. No monthly payment options anymore.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multiuser realtime collaboration makes design faster with less errors and cheaper than any other software solutions. Low maintenance costs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just give a try!

What do you dislike about the product?
Assembly ease of use

CRM without any hassle or worries
Shared document work - especially remote work and live multiple user viewing of document
We are spending a lot of time working from home quite successfully using this software for most of our design needs for prototyping and concept modelling

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a watertight solution for 3d modeling and don't want to invest in expensive hardware or worry about saving documents or revision control or sharing - then this is a great solution
Excellent Design and Engineering Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Online and collaborative
Able to use on any device
Sets me free from IT nighmares

What do you dislike about the product?
We dont find the Cad -Cam Connection satisfying
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mismatch and stove piping of design data

More tutorials on Cad Cam
Onshape CAD
What do you like best about the product?
Onshape offers a robust suite of solid/surface modeling tools with innovative workflows and a great value proposition.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only real downside is that I have to be connected to the internet to work on my CAD models.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onshape allows me to share CAD models with clients and potential clients. They don't have to download, install, or signup for anything. A web browser and internet connection set the stage for me to share a URL taking them straight to the actual 3d CAD model, live in real time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Signup for a free 'public' account to get your feet wet. This beats the pants of the industry-standard '30 day free trial'. The only caveat is that your CAD models are accessible to other Onshape users.
Easy-to-use, continously updated, online CAD platform
What do you like best about the product?
Browser based, so it is easily accessed from the office or at home. It also means that rendering is done in the cloud, drastically lowering the hardware requirements for your system.
Onshape is also easy to use with extensive self-paced courses and webinars. Coming from other CAD software it is therefore easy to get acquainted with the new workflow and possibilities.
It is continuously updated. Every 3 weeks Onshape is updated, so that you are always working with the latest version. Since OnShape is cloud based, all your documents are automatically updated to the latest versions, so no troubles with not being able to open outdated documents.

What do you dislike about the product?
Models can still take quite some time to update, and since you're on your browser, its easy to get distracted.
We also experience quite some models unexpectedly breaking down, which seems to be an error in the underlying code. Although Support is easy to contact and has always solved the problem, it takes time to continue your work.
Lastly, when OnShape pushes a version update, models might get broken in the update. This means features might not link to the correct vertex and you would have to go through the feature tree to correct it. Not a huge problem, but takes time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can easily work with multiple users on the same documents, without fear of different versions. Version management is superb.
In these crazy Corona times it has also been a breeze switching from office to home use.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tired of working with outdated document versions, not knowing which file was the last, complete one? Having a beat-down laptop which can't run hardware-heavy software like SolidWorks? Try Onshape :)
Very Helpful!!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact I can use On Shape anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike; however, I do not go deep into the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can quickly assemble custom valve packages on a per job basis and save them for future editing or use.
