## Overview

### Key benefits of Onshape

 All design steps are recorded, creating an audit trail of changes, and previous design versions can be restored to compare variations and recover from mistakes.&#10;&#10; When modeling parts, users can directly resize holes and fillets, move or replace faces, delete surfaces, and simultaneously edit multiple parts.&#10;&#10; Custom features can be created using Onshape’s open-source programming language, FeatureScript.&#10;&#10; Onshape’s assembly modeling capabilities include assembly restructuring, in-context editing of parts, mechanical relations definition, snap mating, dynamic assembly motion, and more.&#10;&#10; Onshape can read and write files in a range of formats, including SOLIDWORKS®, Rhinoceros®, and Autodesk AutoCAD® data, and allows users to store data in any file format within documents, with native viewing of TXT, PDF, JPEG, PNG, MOV, and MP4 files.

## Reviews

### "What more could you ask for?" — 5.0/5

> **Terran** | *1 July 2019* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: a browser based CAD program? Super convenient\! Especially when working on Linux where other software packages are unavailable. I find that Onshape has all the features and functionality I've ever needed, and the best part is I don't have to take up space on my computer with expensive software\!
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes the features are a bit tricky to find and use. I often have to google and look through forums to figure out how to accomplish a particular design.
> 
> I love Onshape. I now use it exclusively for all my 3D printing projects because of its accessibility. And it's free\!

### "up to date" — 5.0/5

> **Kalvis** | *3 December 2025* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Pace of development. Worflow, data organising, document structure, mates. Support, availability across users.
> 
> **Cons**: Large assembly performance, I understand it is a difficult issue to manage, but still that is what can feel in day to day use.
> 
> Have been daily user for 7years, more than happy with the dirrection and performance of this CAD solution, newer stops improving.

### "Fairly  easy to use after a lot of training. Extremely frustrating at times. Sad emoji." — 3.0/5

> **Jeremy** | *15 February 2018* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The fastener mate command is useful. I also like the documentation set up. It makes it easy to find parts specific to an assembly I create. They finally implemented the configuration option which is helpful. That is about it though
> 
> **Cons**: I do not like part studio set up.  Inserting parts into a part studio get extremely frustrating when I insert said part studio into an assembly and it inserts all the parts in the part studio without their orientation towards each other and they do not follow the tramsform command. It also inserts the parts individually. I also loathe that when (about 20% of the time) I make a drawing for an assembly it does not transfer all the information and will add lines that are not there and omit lines that should be there. From a production stand point this is impossible to work around and makes our documentation look like a joke. Their customer service told me they are working on it over 2 months ago and it still happens and then they told me I needed to remove all the hardware (about 100 pieces) one at a time until i found the culprit. They also told me to leave it out in the drawing which also doesn't work for me. The branching of workflows is also frustrating when multiple people are working on something and the document will not allow a merge. The document ends up being left and no one knows which branch is active.
> 
> none that i could not get in a more professional software

### "The perfect free CAD software" — 5.0/5

> **Sebastian** | *20 April 2026* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Really a great free platform for CAD work. Has all the necessary features like 3D and 2D design and lots of customization options. Security and customer support are great. Also its free so amazing value for money.
> 
> **Cons**: There are really no cons to Onshape. It works extremely well and has every feature that other CAD softwares have.
> 
> Overall very very good. It works perfectly well, does everything I need it to, syncs over email account as well.

### "Best Cloud Native CAD Experience" — 5.0/5

> **Brad** | *17 November 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Fast implementation and cloud native. 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
