PROFESSIONAL 3D CAD Onshape is a professional 3D CAD system parts, assemblies and drawings. Although Onshape s taken a modern approach to CAD, at its core is feature-based modeling. CAD professionals all over the world are using Onshape to design products faster. 6
FULL-CLOUD CAD Onshape is the first full-cloud 3D CAD system. It runs in a web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) on any computer (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook). There is no software to download, install, or license. Furthermore, every user in the world works on the same version of Onshape the latest. When collaborating, there is never an issue with data incompatibility. 7
AVAILABLE ON ANY DEVICE, ANYWHERE Onshape is the only CAD system that allows you to do ALL of your CAD work (not just view and markup) from your mobile device. Onshape s ios and Android apps are optimized for phones and tablets - allowing you the flexibility to access, collaborate, and edit your CAD data anytime, anywhere on any device. 8
HIGH PERFORMANCE Onshape delivers workstation-level performance on entry-level computers, phones and tablets. In many cases, it is faster than desktop CAD. Desktop CAD uses 4 or 8 cores in the desktop computer. Onshape uses thousands of cores in the Onshape Cloud, and can add more in real time to ensure the kind of performance our customers need. 9
FAMILIAR PART MODELING, WITH A NEW TWIST Designers experienced with traditional 3D CAD will be immediately productive in Onshape. It uses familiar parametric and direct modeling techniques. However, because Onshape allows multiple parts to share sketches and features, new levels of efficiency can be realized by building and editing parts together. 10
A MODERN APPROACH TO BUILDING ASSEMBLIES Onshape introduces a new approach to creating assemblies. Higher level mates enable users to build assemblies with one-third the mating relationships of traditional CAD. This results in assemblies that are are easier to build, manage and edit. Complex mechanisms can be animated through their complete range of motion. 11
GAME-CHANGING COLLABORATION Teams can access the same Documents simultaneously. Colleagues can work on the same parts, assemblies, and drawings at the same time. Access is controlled by the owner of the Document, and each user sees visual indicators when others are working within the same Document. Team members can choose to create separate branches of a design and work on new design improvements individually. Since Onshape stores these variations within one Document, colleagues can merge the branches, saving rework by combining the best ideas. Onshape allows users to view each other s screens while working together in a Document. This real-time follow mode improves communication during design reviews and helps add clarity when making design changes. 12
HASSLE-FREE DATA MANAGEMENT All product information can be stored together within a single Document. There is no need to make copies of data when collaborating with colleagues. Version control is built in, allowing you to create a protected state of your Document at any time. 13
WORKS SEAMLESSLY WITH YOUR EXISTING CAD 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. 14
CAD BUILT FOR EVERYONE Onshape offers Public, Professional and Enterprise Plans. Onshape subscription plans allow everyone to access professional-grade CAD. Users of Onshape s Public Plan have access to the same CAD functionality found in Onshape Professional. This free Public Plan enables hobbyists, makers and open source designers to learn and experience full-cloud CAD using unlimited Public Documents. Professional Plan users can create and edit an unlimited number of Private or Public Documents. Companies evaluating Onshape can create and edit an unlimited number of Private Documents with a free 21-Day Professional Trial. 15
Our Customers Avatech AVATECH S HANDHELD AVALANCHE DETECTOR AIMS TO SAVE LIVES Avatech s design team, spread between Massachusetts and Utah, uses Onshape to collaborate on their CAD models in real time. Onshape is the only professional 3D CAD system that lets multiple people edit the same model at the same time. The design team previously had shared Zip files of their CAD models by email. With Onshape s built-in data management, there is no longer confusion over which model is the latest version. Avatech uses Onshape side by side with SolidWorks, seamlessly importing parts into Onshape, which runs in a browser. Preferring to work on Macs over PCs, Avatech designers no longer need to run their CAD system through additional virtualization software. Read the full story 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. - Jim Christian Avatech 16
Our Customers Scotrenewables Tidal Power SCOTRENEWABLES TIDAL POWER IS THE WORLD LEADER IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF FLOATING TIDAL STREAM TURBINES FOR PRODUCING ELECTRICITY Onshape is for Distributed Design Teams The company has engineers in Edinburgh, Scotland and the remote Orkney Islands simultaneously working together on the same CAD model with partners in Germany and Switzerland. Built-In Version Control Scotrenewables avoids the problem of keeping track of multiple copies/versions of their designs and potentially losing work. With Onshape, everyone is always on the latest, most up-to-date version. 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. - Jonathan Meason Scotrenewables Boosted Creativity Onshape s Branching and Merging feature encourages engineers to take bolder design risks. In the conceptual stage, team members can explore different variations of a design and later compare and merge the best elements. CAD Access Anywhere CTO Jonathan Meason says that browser-based Onshape has run smoothly for his team despite spotty Internet service in the Orkney Islands. Read the full story 17
Our Customers Rest Devices HELPING FIRST-TIME PARENTS SLEEP LIKE BABIES The Rest Devices design team relies on Onshape for multiple people to simultaneously collaborate on the same CAD model. The team had previously shared models by email, an inefficient process that created delays and confusion over copies and multiple versions. Rest Devices used Onshape to create assembly robots for their manufacturing facility. Onshape allows more employees to be fully productive with CAD. The company was previously sharing one SolidWorks seat between multiple engineers. Onshape s monthly SaaS pricing model is ideally suited for the unpredictable nature of startups. Read the full story 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. - Thomas Lipoma Rest Devices 18
