Sponsored by Let's say you sit down in your office chair, it absorbs you back to 1992 where a mustached salesman in a mauve shirt smiles and starts pelting you with hard drives. What a nightmare... And exactly how I feel about the process of evaluating 3D CAD software. I've been through it multiple times, as you likely have, but... it doesn't … [Read more...]
Fasten your eye-buckles kiddos. Now, you know Onshape kicked off the year announcing Parametric Modeling 2.0. They got a two-for-one deal on 2.0 names apparently, announcing today Data Management 2.0. They also got a two-for-one on kickin' design problems IN THE ASS since, like configurations, multi-part and in-context design in their Parametric … [Read more...]
Last week Onshape released possibly the most major update since launching out of beta. This week they introduce "Parametric Modeling 2.0" on the 30 year anniversary when parametric modeling software came screaming onto our screens. I think it's important to point out up front that, though I like the idea around Parametric Modeling 2.0, this is … [Read more...]
2017 was a good year for Advanced Modeling Tools enhancements inside of Onshape. In particular, I'm talking curve and surface creation tools. These are the kind of features that have got this ole ID guy chomping at the bit to model something curvy and sweet in form! My aim in this post is to highlight the collection of surface creation tools that … [Read more...]
Ya know, while there are various ways to collaborate online around a 3D CAD project with other like-minded designers and engineers, you don't hear about it too often. We've yet to get to the real-time, live-edit environment, à la Google Docs, but we're close. You may have built a few 3D models in Onshape but, raise of hands, have you ever … [Read more...]
