Great cloud CAD platform
What do you like best about the product?
The best part is the ease of organization of all the documents, as well as versioning features. It is also super easy to create assemblies built off of well designed part studios all at once.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be better if onshape had an offline working feature when theres no WIFI or a bad connection.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The benefit is having all the documents accessible by everyone at the company, and you can work on the document whenever you want without checking it in or out. It is also fast to work together, and build complex parts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great CAD if you don't want anything to download, nothing to store on your own computer. Everything is backed up online and is operated through your browser. Much easier organization-wise compared to something like solidworks, where you need to check in and check out parts and the organization is a bit more complicated.
Cloud features awesome, modeling tools well underway.
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I never lose data and i can access it from any device with an internet connection. I also really love that despite the limited functionality, they release new features every three weeks. I really think that in time Onshape is going to be a game changer.
What do you dislike about the product?
I struggle sometimes with the functionality. Drawings have been especially difficult, but it's getting better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has really made modeling as a team almost effortless, with everyone's models clearly laid out and organized, all changes updated everywhere constantly.
Excellent value
What do you like best about the product?
It was easy to pick up coming from a SolidWorks background. It has all the functionality I need for my small business, and even some features I didn't expect, like the mobile app.
What do you dislike about the product?
There have occasionally been things I wanted to do that didn't seem possible. I don't have a specific example in mind, but I've always either found a work-around, found help, or the feature became available in a later update.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're able to bring products from the initial concept stage all the way to production with OnShape.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you come from SolidWorks you'll pick it up fast. I'd recommend anyone try the free trial at least.
Onshape Review
What do you like best about the product?
Browser base, multi-user capability, exceptional user forum and admin responsiveness to any issues or questions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes a little slow, but may be my computer . . .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Accurate dxf files for parts made inside and outside our shop. Ability to present pro rendering s of my designs to clients.
Great software, constantly being updated
What do you like best about the product?
Onshape is very feature rich, and it's constantly being updated. The support team is responsive to both bugs, and feature requests, and gets back to you quickly, so problems are never lingering. The part studio setup is also a great feature; being able to design entire assemblies, with all the parts, in one document is great increases productivity, because now you're not opening tons of documents to reference part dimensions, and all the parts update relative to each other in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because onshape is a cloud based program, it's subject to internet problems, and it is dependent on what their servers can handle. I've had part studios crash multiple times, which doesn't lose any features, but I have to restart the page and pick up where I left off.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using onshape for all of our engineering needs, and it allows us to collaborate incredibly easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great software with a long future of support ahead of it.
CAD capabilities for everyone
What do you like best about the product?
Onshape gives any person the ability to use a CAD platform. If you just need to view a model or are creating complex parts and assemblies it does it all. Most important it does it seamlessly. No more updating software, worrying about compatibility, or saving files.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are always things to be improved but nothing really comes to mind. Knowing they really take your feedback and in an impressive timeline address and update their software, the hardest part is not allowing yourself to say this option is not there or it can not do this. Before you know it a new feature is added or improved to make my life easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Designing parts for our products, importing outside files to apply to assemblies, Sharing files. All of this is do effortlessly. It feels limitless. Anytime I feel stuck, I just hit the feedback and send an email. I receive feed back in hours.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it, its Free! Never be closed minded to something that has so much potential to making work and life easier.
Online CAD will rule them all
What do you like best about the product?
Convenient, simple and collaborative all rolled into an easy to use package. Onshape is a godsend for our business. We came from Solidworks and we're surprised that CAD could get even better and easier to use. The ability to use from any computer with an internet connect meant we didn't need to go out and buy every team member a workstation. The Onshape Team and their support is top notch. Features and improvements are added every few weeks. It doesn't cost more or require new downloads. Everything about the CAD experience with Onshape makes every other CAD solution look archaic.
What do you dislike about the product?
Really would like integrated CAM. Currently needing to download the models and open them up in another CAM/CAD program to complete machining work which isn't as seemless.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to build top down and in context with other parts that move is brilliant and allows for better team collaboration of product design.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Doesn't have built in CAM functionality but there is a 3rd party app that integrates with Onshape that does.
CAD Platform of Tomorrow
What do you like best about the product?
Cloud-based platform that I can operate from anywhere. Mobile application that designs can be shown at dinners or meetings at the drop of a hat.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is still not the industry standard so cross-platform file types have been a hang up for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to share designs with teammates and patent lawyers seemlessly. It also offers an affordable monthly option for companies just starting out and doing design heavy work that will not last a full year.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try. The team will help you learn and will offer discounts in order to improve your experience and accelerate your learning
Onshape for Custom Furniture Design
What do you like best about the product?
The features of the workspaces and the file structure make OnShape a versatile and efficient platform for modeling and production. Parametric modeling allows for changes on the fly based on client feedback. Assemblies and drawings that update from linked part studios save even more time in project revision.
Onshape also provides a great number of learning resources and one on one support for troubleshooting. The community is very active and open with knowledge in the forum space.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see the drawing space provide better formatting tools. Simple guides and snaps would be a significant improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onshape allows me to produce proposals and production documents from the same project files. It streamlines the design and deliverables process. It has also allowed me to work from any computer through its browser-based system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommend onshape for designers who produce systematized products with variables. There are many additional apps to dive into for additional functions for more specific needs.
I am an experienced CAD user that has been making the transition to OnShape for the last year or so
What do you like best about the product?
I love the cloud based experience in Onshape. I love that you never have to click save and never lose anything. There are a lot of really neat features that you will start to discover as you really dig in and start modeling. Collaborating in Onshape with other team members is much easier than my old CAD software.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel like Onshape is mostly there, but just missing a few advanced features and has some annoying things to get used to coming from other CAD. I don't like the new mate connectors. They are designed to save time and maybe once I get used to them they will, but for now, they work about half the time great, but if I have real parts with tolerances or odd shapes etc, it can be difficult. Really, just minor things that you can get over. For example, in Creo I'm used to right clicking to toggle between what I'm trying to select. In OnShape if you can't see a face you can't select it without right clicking into a menu, choosing, select other, and hoping its in the list... Just little stuff.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The cost of the CAD is way way better than our old systems. The collaborative and cloud based features are great too.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot. I find that a lot of things I really love about it. Sometimes you have to change how you think about modeling certain things, but almost always I have found a way.
