Top-rated for **Likelihood to recommend**. ----- ## 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. When modeling parts, users can directly resize holes and fillets, move or replace faces, delete surfaces, and simultaneously edit multiple parts. Custom features can be created using Onshape’s open-source programming language, FeatureScript. Onshape’s assembly modeling capabilities include assembly restructuring, in-context editing of parts, mechanical relations definition, snap mating, dynamic assembly motion, and more. 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. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.5/5** | 341 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.5/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support | 4.7/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.5/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.1/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 90% | (9/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: PTC - **Location**: Needham, US - **Founded**: 1985 ## Commercial Context - **Starting Price**: USD 1,500.00 - **Pricing model**: Per User (Free version available) (Free Trial) - **Pricing Details**: Onshape's Standard plan for individuals is $1,500 per user, per year.

The fact that you do not require a high performance computer to use Onshape effectively is a huge win. Allows you to design even on smart mobile devices. Sharing design with others is relatively easy. No risk of crashes. Very easy to learn and use even for someone new to Computer Aided Design. It allows users to use pre-existing parts in their designs or assemblies. > > **Cons**: I anticipate the inclusion of 3D sketching capabilities in up coming updates. Yes it requires the internet to use, this doesn't really favour usage in regions where there's no or poor internet connection. > > I have designed machine parts in Onshape that went on to be 3D printed. ----- ### "Onshape review" — 4.0/5 > **Yarin** | *24 November 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The option to share the design between one person to the other and the branch option the let you build various solution for the same design > > **Cons**: There are a lot of things missing such as mate option (in S.W. you can mate axis ) and threads , also the import option for surfaces is not good > > A very good experience in the overall time that i have used this program (2 years) i do think that there is place for improvement ----- ### "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 ----- ### "welder/designer" — 5.0/5 > **Ruben Hofer** | *29 November 2025* | Farming | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: it is simple to operate, the best part is I can log in from anywhere and look up a product and make changes as needed. > > **Cons**: I can't think of anything at this time\! > > it works really good for what we do in our business\! ----- ### "Future is here" — 4.0/5 > **Mohamed** | *17 November 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: No missing references, very powerful on automation and parametrization and alot of other modern functions. > > **Cons**: 2D drawing and sheetmetal modules seems a bit less powerful comparing to software such as Solidworks. > > Great experience, I am actually a freelancer and have been recomendding most of my clients to use Onshape and some of them already subscriped. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/109167/onshape?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/109167/onshape) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
