"Even just for sharing geometry, Onshape pays for itself. Not having to install software is a big thing. Sometimes when you share a CAD model with a potential partner and say, ‘Oh, you need to install this viewer,' they’ll say, ‘No, we can’t do that. We don’t have authorization."
"We’re on the horizon of having ordinary people being involved in exploring space rather than sit on the sidelines. You don’t have to be that technical to build one of these things and get out there to support the work of professionals. We want to build confidence in our community and encourage them to come up with ideas on how to improve this."
“Even though everyone signed confidentiality agreements, Onshape’s access controls gave me a little more peace of mind.”
"Our product development manager came over to a bunch of us engineers and said, Guys, I found the future And we’ve been excited about Onshape ever since."
“There are just two different sizes of the hardshell, but they have a soft liner to fill in for all the smaller sizes. With the boots, you can get a very custom fit.”
"I used to have to wait to get back to my office and open up the file only on the computer I had the license for. That just doesn’t support my business model. Now it doesn’t matter if I’m on my home computer, my laptop while I’m traveling, my office computer or the computer on the shop floor. I can log in and immediately discuss a part no matter where I am."
"The big reason we chose Onshape is that we can have 4 or 5 engineers working on the same project in the same space. PDM is such a burden. You have to check files in and out and there is a lot of friction We want our design process to be as fluid as possible."
"It was so cool when I first imported my SolidWorks files into Onshape. There was no computation holdup. Things are so much faster. Onshape is going to really change how I approach CAD modeling as a whole."
“Improving safety is very personal to us. The mountain community is a very tight community. You don’t have to reach too far to know someone who died or had a close call.”
"The thing I love about CAD in the cloud is that I don’t need to have a heavy duty processor to get into my projects. I haven’t noticed any difference between using Onshape with a fast computer and a not-so-fast computer."
"The fact that my colleague and I can both be designing at the same time is really nice. We wouldn’t be able to do that with our single SolidWorks seat. Onshape makes collaboration a lot easier. Even when only one of us is designing at a time, we are able to bounce ideas off each other in the moment."
"It’s faster to create data – to work in 3D – than people might imagine. Onshape is so convenient and you can use it everywhere. I’ve been using it on the couch. I’ve even used it on the train. There’s no need to carry around a powerful notebook just to capture your quick ideas."
"Onshape is instantaneous. You can see what everyone is doing at the same time. It really works like that Google ad about how Hall & Oates would have been collaborating on the song ‘Maneater’ if they had been using Google Docs."
"I’m blown away by how well it works inside a web browser. The beauty of Onshape being cloud-based is that I don’t have to deal with software updates. It’s already complicated enough keeping my machine up to date. Not having to worry about that with CAD software is great."
“To anyone that would say a table is just a table, I’d simply say, ‘Well, you haven’t seen the WELD Table.'"
