Onshape Released Parametric 3D CAD in the

Browser is Here

After months of speculation, rumors and various tidbits surrounding “the future of CAD”, Onshape – the browser-based parametric CAD program that’s been in the works for years now – is finally live

Founded by SolidWorks founder Jon Hirschtick and a team of ex-SolidWorks corporate all-stars, the free (yes – free) program is being hailed by some as “the next generation of CAD” with nearly all of the same features and functionalities as existing CAD programs directly in the Cloud

What does this mean for CAD users?

For one, OnShape is the first full-cloud 3D CAD system that can run on most web

browsers on any computer Aside from the obvious benefit of being able to work from nearly any device, this also means that every user who works within Onshape will be working on the same version at all times with zero constraints relating to the major inconvenience of data incompatibility Additionally, this means that Onshape will deliver workstation-level performance on entry-level computers, phones and tablets – meaning that a $200 Chromebook will operate just as well as a $3,000 optimized workstation

Since Onshape uses thousands of cores in the Onshape Cloud, it is technically faster

than traditional Desktop CAD systems that use 4 or 8 cores

As for engineers and designers who have previously been using other 3D CAD

programs for years, Onshape has developed an intuitive interface within the browser

that is designed to help make a transition (or a first time experience) easy to navigate

All of the familiar parametric and direct modeling techniques are there – and there are

even enhanced capabilities that allow teams to control versions easily for fail-proof

iterative modeling and file saving without the hassle of file linking and other time

constraints Additionally, features such as animations, drawings (soon to be added) and

other methods of communicating a design are built directly in to the Onshape

experience and can be done with ease Since Onshape has full control of every version

that everybody works on, improvements and new feature updates happen in the

background and all users will be updated to new features immediately as they roll out

from the Onshape mothership

…speaking of “everybody”, seamless collaboration was considered from the start with Onshape and the final, included collaborative features are the best in the industry

Among others, teams can access the same documents simultaneously while directly working on the same part or assembly This means that during a meeting (either on-location or via a video call), all viewers can watch in real-time as design changes are made directly on their own computers, tablets or phones To differentiate between users, simple visual indicators help determine who is who Once updates have been made and design improvements have left old design decisions no longer necessary, team members can choose to merge these “branches” of the design and save only the best ideas – all of course while automatically saving previous versions for reference if needed

Among other hurdles that Onshape is likely to encounter however is the transition from existing CAD programs over to their new platform However while it will likely take

awhile for users of other programs to transition over, Onshape has made every effort to make working with and sharing existing CAD files as seamless as possible

According to the company:

multiple copies You can control levels of access, grant and revoke permissions,

and version control the uploaded files

translate it into Onshape’s native format to be viewed and edited within web

browsers or on mobile devices

Of course, Onshape has to get paid somehow and they’ve justified this by setting up a

Professional subscription model for $100/month that enables individuals or teams to go over the five active documents + 5 GB of storage within their Onshape cloud account

Of course, we could go on – however the best thing to do is to try it out for yourself
