Tell me more about this Onshape... Is it comparable to solid works?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It was developed by the same people that originally developed SolidWorks. So, yeah. Full parametric 3D design, but it's fully cloud based. So no more needing a workstation, you can do it via any browser. I've done it on my Chromebook (slowly). It's also designed with top-down design in mind (no more dangling internal references), and is NOT file-based, it is its own PDM system.

It's annual cost is not much more than the maintenance cost on SolidWorks. Check it out, I've fully switched over, personally and professionally.

Appreciate the update. I might recommend this to my company. Solid works is so expensive. Ive used it a lot. And frankly its overpriced.
