We are a company that exists in 2D CAD and our transition to 3D has been very straightforward. After a few weeks of training we can get any of our users up to speed and designing our products. We are now natively integrated with our ERP and our time to production ins monumentally faster. > > **Cons**: It's missing some features the larger CAD software has, such as a not robust plugin system. Most integrations require vast implementation costs compared to counterparts. > > Being able to hand a fresh CAD user Onshape and they can turn around and understand our product immediately has proven to be exactly what we needed to make our company move in the right direction ----- ### "Great for startups focusing on high-level design" — 5.0/5 > **Justin** | *November 17, 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I’ve been very impressed with onshape’s capabilities for mechanical design, especially the sheetmetal tools. For my purposes (product design and analysis) it is every bit as capable as any other tool I’ve used in my career (mostly CREO, some solidworks). However, the data management functionality and collaboration tools are what really makes it stand out to me. In addition, the web-based aspect makes Onshape extremely cost-effective. This helps me keep my overhead expenses low while also providing extremely high-quality work. > > **Cons**: Coming from CREO, the part studio concept was a little bit of a learning curve, as was the assembly constraints. However now that I’m used to the workflow, I dread when I have to work with any other tool. The training material provided by Onshape is very high quality and is time well-spent. > > Extremely satisfied- the design and engineering capabilities of the tool, the data management and collaboration functionality, and the training and support ecosystem provides a first-class experience. It’s really enabled me to take on projects and do things that would have been more expensive and time consuming with most other tools. ----- ### "Best and reliable CAD ever invented" — 5.0/5 > **Maurice** | *November 18, 2025* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really the the fact that I will never loose any progress I made when my pc crashes because Onshape is fully cloud based. It’s really easy to Lears designing with Onshape due to there integrated learning Centre. There Costumer Support is always really quick, friendly and helpful, they never lead me down. In conclusion for me as a small growing business, Onshape is really worth it’s money. > > **Cons**: The only thing that annoyed me is that all project are public in the free version. So if you want to do some project that not everyone should see, you need to pay for it. > > My overall Experience with Onshape is great, after spending some time designing with it, you really get used to it and are able to do some incredible projects. The rendering of 3d models is great if you want to show it to your customers. An other great features is the import/ export options, you can export in every filetype you could need or print out drawing to give in Production. ----- ### "A CAD system that works with you" — 5.0/5 > **Bryan** | *November 25, 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The thing I like most about Onshape is the simplicity of the Part Studio, The intuitiveness of the functions of the commands, the clean not cluttered toolbar, and the power and speed of simple mate connections in assembly. > > **Cons**: One item that Onshape is still behind other CAD packages is sheet metal functionality. There are some solid core features but items such as lofted sheet metal and being able to switch from the default outside angle call out to inside angle call out is still missing just to name a couple. > > Onshape is the future of CAD. The ability to work on any device with a web browser and an internet or cell connection alone is a game changer. It is a "No worries" CAD system that allows you to focus on designing and not worrying about crashes, designs not saved, taking a wrong turn in a design and having to start over from scratch. It's a CAD system that works for you and not the other way around like others. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/164681/onshape?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/164681/onshape) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
