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** | *25 November 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. ----- ### "No argue not to change to" — 5.0/5 > **Jörg** | *9 December 2025* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Always the right document, a secure software with great customer support. Value 3D Design in your drawings with a good sales and purchasing strategy to be in very good value for money. Design in your fingertips everywhere everytime with no hassel on elder documents to care about. > > **Cons**: The Standard Plan does not include Company managed data and release management to fundamental things for everybody using CAD seriously, although they are lonesome riders\!-) > > Making more fun everyday in every drawing. You learn fast and easy. There had been always an online course or description for me to help me going on to my designproblem\!-) ----- ### "Onshape is overall really good, fast and much more better than solidworks" — 5.0/5 > **Axel** | *19 November 2025* | Industrial Automation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Cloud option - no CAD PC - Fast, reliable - New functions insertions with easier construction is really nice agains solid works - Much more efficient with new implementations from new versions \& updates. We like it a lot. > > **Cons**: Till now we find only some problems with the point that the configurations with versions are some times a bit unuseful. configuration itselfs = perfect, but in combination not good > > Like we said 2 steps before. Everything is really good. Also the support if you have sth. to discuss. We are really happy to make the change from Solidworks. Also because you have a working pdm inside. And it works... without new interfaces ----- ### "Onshape for all your CAD" — 5.0/5 > **Craig** | *24 November 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to navigate, the user interface is clean and uncluttered. Tools are fast and easy to use. The mate system is fantastic. The system's speed is outstanding. > > **Cons**: Not having native rendering or useful CAM at all paid levels is disappointing. Snap system when designing in context is frustrating as it won't snap automatically to all edges or vertexes in the plane. > > Onshape has been my go-to CAD since 2021. I teach classes to help absolute newbies learn Onshape. I design all my work on Onshape. It is a fantastic platform, with the ability to be used on any computer, tablet, or phone. It's probably the best CAD platform I have used. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/164681/onshape?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/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
