I've built my robotics startup on OnShape
What do you like best about the product?
I love the web interface for designing parts. The design metaphor makes sense to me. The speed of development is impressive. It gets better every month. The mobile app is impressive and a great way to show off my models to my friends and colleagues
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the web app were faster. It's improving, and a lot better than it was a year ago, but still slower than it should be. Sometimes it takes minutes for my model to load.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've build all the models for my hardware startup in OnShape. My entire robot design is in this system. It hasn't let me down yet.
Avid user
What do you like best about the product?
The cloud functionality is great when working with a team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow with complex models and drawings, especially when refreshing or moving tables.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use CAD and drawings to design products, review designs with clients and vendors, and to simulate mechanical systems.
Great 3D CAD
What do you like best about the product?
Flexible part design and overall workflow. Browser based, so no archaic activation and installations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Drawings are good but need work. Importing Solidworks files are a mess. I will consider it a huge improvement when I can import an entire Solidworks assembly and OnShape recreates all the parts and assemblies and mates correctly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prototype design and collaboration across several countries. Cross platform support is a huge benefit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great CAD system for projects not requiring automation or advanced calculations.
Futur of CAD online
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using a lot of CAD softwares (parametric or surfacic), the online concept of it disrupts with other software on the market. It changes the use of CAD.
Testing it to collaborate with users on specific and simple projects.
I am looking into additionnal features like nesting and fabrication and it looks also really promising.

CAD revolutionnized, try it !
I am looking forward tooserve market acceptance of the software .

The BEST CAD tool on the market. Period.
What do you like best about the product?
I recommend this product to everyone I know that uses CAD or who is looking to get into CAD. It has a great, never-ending, free trial for you to test out all of the features. The fact that it is web-based allows you to do work almost anywhere or on any device. I loved using it for freelance work. I'd be on my phone with the client making edits in real-time with the client. It's easy to learn and incredibly powerful and it's getting better every day. More and more features are being added and the training resources are great.
What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks some capabilities when it comes to surfacing but I never need surfacing for the design projects I work on so it's not a downfall for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost, automatic updates, streamlined interface, and mobile.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just get it. It's really that simple. It's the future of CAD.

What do you dislike about the product?
Occasional difficulties with UI whilst using a smartphone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Access to geometry whilst away from desk has sped up problem-solving.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For those who want CAD-in-the-Cloud, OnShape is moving forward at the right speed and with the right mindset. While it has much room to mature, it will. No doubt.
A great CAD system!
What do you like best about the product?
OnShape is a great cloud-based CAD system for anyone who is a beginner or an experienced professional. For beginners, the best part is the free personal account. For professionals, cloud-based integration with the rest of the team members makes it really easy to collaborate.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is not something that I dislike but for someone moving from a different CAD software like SolidWorks or CATIA, Onshape might feel a little disappointing. But this is an entirely different product and comparing it with those software won't be fair. You get used to this after some time and eventually start loving it!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mechanical design for consumer products, product development
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great software for coordinating your work with the rest of the team. As I previously mentioned, don't start using this software with high expectations when moving from a different CAD software like SolidWorks. Onshape is pretty easy to learn and you'll get used to it in a while.
CAD Redefined
What do you like best about the product?
There is no question on how impressive Onshape is, but when I first got my hands on it in their early release, I was amazed about the idea of CAD in the cloud. I believe the organic, hassle free idea is truly the most powerful feature. Not being worried about licensing, software version compatibility, hardware, storage and upgrade is the key thing that attracted me. The whole nature of CAD in the cloud is by itself extraordinary, because this is a production ready technology to address real world problems in an industry that is extremely demanding about precision, efficiency and versatility. So no doubt two of my colleagues and I got in touch with Onshape company and brought to Portugal College of Art and Design to be the first implementing it widely in the official curriculum and today all our students of Product Design enjoy the new horizon for CAD.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well sometimes I miss multi perspective views in one environment, but I can simply open another browser with the same user and enable another view as well, even on another monitor if I want. Nothing major though, but that would be all, it is a pretty solid technology.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Product Design, CAD, 3D Idea Storm.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try to think differently when engaging Onshape. Just consider it a new thing, don´t try to bring SolidWorks "this and that" or Rhino, Alias, etc.
Understand this is a new software, with new workflows and new ideas so embrace the new, challenge yourself to adapt and enjoy the new concept behind working with CAD in the cloud, but the great thing is that the solid modeling workflow is there with all its principals.
You won´t regret the change!
Highly recommended.

OnShape is a great cloud based CAD system.
What do you like best about the product?
OnShape is an amazing web browser based CAD program. It does most everything you have come to expect from CAD. Part modeling is simple and easy to pick up. There are great tutorials to get started fast. Version control is built into the page and makes design history research snap. You can compare versions and see what changed very easily. They are updating things all the time and making it better every month.
The mobile app is real and you can design parts on your ipad very easily. If you every want to show a model to someone all you need to do is share it and they can see the exact model. There is an awesome app store that lets you use extensions to aid you with different things that you might need with your design process.

What do you dislike about the product?
I think the iphone app is a little difficult to use. Menus get in the way a bit but doesn't hurt it too bad.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CAD design for products, easy collaboration with vendors and manufacturers. It is super easy to work and collaborate on a model in real time even if you are in a different country.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
OnShape is easy to use and pick up if you have used any 3D cad. It can run on any platform as long as you have internet connectivity. It is also free to use up to a file size with nothing cut out or locked up. It is a no brainer to at least try out. You'll love it and enjoy every minute of it.
