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 onlocation 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:
Onshape can be used to share existing CAD files without the need to make
multiple copies. You can control levels of access, grant and revoke permissions,
and version control the uploaded files.
Onshape can be used to store, manage, and version control any CAD file or
translate it into Onshape’s native format to be viewed and edited within web
browsers or on mobile devices.
Translated CAD files can be modified using Onshape’s direct editing toolsets.

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.
