I-Parasolid-based Mechanical CAD, mahhala. Ufunde lokho kahle. Ukusetshenziswa okungavinjelwe kwalo lonke uhlelo lwe-Onshape kuze kufike ku-5GB kanye nemibhalo yangasese emihlanu ngesikhathi kumahhala ngokuphelele, kanye ne-$1200 kuphela ngonyaka ngemibhalo engenamkhawulo. Kunjalo bakwethu, ama-ballyhooded kakhulu I-Onshape bangena nje eringini beshwibeka, sebekulungele ukunyakazisa izinto ezingakaze zibonwe kusukela ngaleso sikhathi. IPharadesi leGangsta bekuyingoma yokuqala.
Disclaimer:
Ngike ngasebenza njengomeluleki we-Onshape izikhathi ezimbalwa. Uma kubhekwa ukuthi imibono evezwe lapha ihambisana nezindatshana engizibhalile ngaphambi kokuthi ngazi nge-Onshape, nokho, mina noJosh sacabanga ukuthi kwakufanelekile ukushicilela.
Iziqalo ze-Onshape
Kusukela ehle esikhundleni sokuba ngumsunguli kanye ne-CEO ye-SolidWorks ngo-2011, u-Jon Hirschtick ohlonishwayo (owaziwa nangokuthi The J-Hirsch) ubethule ngendlela exakile. Sasihlale simbona ehlala endaweni egcwele intuthu engamamayela angamakhulu amabili ngaphandle kwase-Ulaanbataar esenga izimbuzi futhi ephila ngokulima. Besikude. Njengoba kwenzeka, ubekade eqongelela Iqembu Lamaphupho le-MCAD kanye ne-cloud tech elite ngaphansi kwe-moniker ye-“Belmont Technologies” engaqondakali. Ngokushesha phambili eminyakeni embalwa futhi i-Belmont iba yi-Onshape, ngokuzumayo iveza ukuthi bakhe ithimba lonjiniyela abangaphezu kwamashumi amane, ibutho labaqeqeshelwa umsebenzi, nabayisithupha kwabayisishiyagalombili abaphezulu. izikhala zobuholi egcwele ithusi eliphezulu leSolidWorks kusukela eminyakeni edlule.
Iphrojekthi yabo: uhlelo lwe-MCAD olusekelwe kusiphequluli oluhlanganyelwe, olusekelwe ku-100%, olwakhiwe kusukela phansi ukuze lusebenze kunoma iyiphi inkundla noma idivayisi. Akukho ukufakwa, amaphakethe wesevisi noma amakhodi okubhalisa.
Kunzima ukweqisa ukuthi iyini impumelelo enkulu lena. I-Parasolid yakhelwe i-workstation computing, hhayi i-computing yamafu, ngakho-ke isenzo nje sokushintsha i-kernel ukuze isetshenziswe kahle kuyo yonke i-server rack ivula amehlo ngokwayo. Ngeza kulokho iqiniso lokuthi bakhe i-MCAD UI esabela ngendlela emangazayo eduze kwayo eyisiphequluli esiphambanayo neselula ehambisanayo kusukela osukwini lokuqala, futhi abakuzuzile ngesikhathi esifushane kangako kuyathobisa ngempela. (Bheka i-pitter-patter yezandla zobuso eziyinkulungwane ezinanela endaweni engaphansi kweBoston.)
Ubuchwepheshe obupholile, ngokungangabazeki, kodwa umkhabi wangempela? Izikebhe zethusi.
Intengo ye-Onshape
Okokuqala, ungasebenzisa zonke izici ezinikezwa yi-Onshape mahhala. I-Parasolid ephelele esekwe kwi-parametric mechanical CAD. Ukungenisa/ukuthekelisa okungavinjelwe. Usayizi weqembu ongenamkhawulo nokwabelana okungenamkhawulo. Ukulawulwa kwenguqulo, i-branching, ukuhlanganisa, i-5GB yesitoreji. Amadola ayiziro. Zilch. Kumahhala njengakuBeer.
Abafundi namakilasi? Amadola ayiziro, ukufakwa okunguziro kuyadingeka, iqanda ngaphezulu kwe-IT. Awekho amaseva welayisensi, awekho ama-node locks, awekho ama-dongle-berries. Isebenza kunoma yimuphi umshini kunoma iyiphi ilebhu noma ikilasi kunoma iyiphi inkundla kunoma yisiphi isakhiwo kunoma iyiphi ikhempasi. O, futhi isebenza ku-iPhone yakho, futhi.
Bese, ngo-$1200/unyaka, amaqembu onjiniyela abachwepheshile angakwazi ukudlala ngaphandle kwemingcele ezinkundleni ezigcwele izimbali ze-Onshape. Siqinisekiswe abantu abaziyo ukuthi intengo ka-$1200/unyaka izoqhubeka ihlanganisa konke njengoba kungezwa ukusebenza okusha. Yilokho kuphela.
Qhathanisa lokho nezinhlelo zokusebenza ezintsha ze-SOLIDWORKS 3DEXPERIENCE cishe u-$2800/unyaka ngomkhiqizo ngamunye, ingasaphathwa eyokukhokha eyengeziwe yokubonisa umsebenzi wakho kuklayenti noma osebenza naye, futhi (a) sithola injabulo ngendlela esingaxoxi ngayo esidlangalaleni, futhi (b) cishe sizothola ama-imeyili athile akhathazekile anamagama aqinile. emahoreni ambalwa alandelayo. (Idada nekhava.)
Apula kanye nama-Oranges
Kuyavunywa, i-Onshape iwumkhiqizo omusha we-spankin' osamanzi ngemuva kwezindlebe, futhi lokho kuza nokulinganiselwa. Ukunikezwa kwayo kwesici kuyamangaza ngeplathifomu ye-MCAD yesizukulwane sokuqala, futhi ikhula ngesivinini sokuphuka. Sekushiwo lokho, ngisho nama-pushers avamile we-CAD azothola isici sawo sokumodela sinomkhawulo okwamanje. Inikeze isivivinyo sokushayela, futhi uzothola ukuthi, kuhle, umsebenzi oqhubekayo.
Uma kubhekwa ukuthi i-Onshape isencane, akulungile ngempela ukuqhathanisa amanani ayo nezinkundla zobunjiniyela ezisungulwe kakhudlwana. Noma ingabe?
Buyela emuva esibonelweni sekilasi: kungani uzihlupha nge-IT yohlelo lwe-CAD lwendabuko–ingasaphathwa eyokuchitha amakhulu ambalwa amarandi esihlalweni ngasinye–lapho ngingavele ngikhombe abafundi bami ku-onshape.com futhi ngiqhubeke ngosuku lokuqala? Kuthiwani ngabo bonke labo bantu abathenga amaShopBots, OtherMills, Carveys, Form 1's, kanye nalawo Makerbots anothando lokuzonda? Wonke umuntu onukayo' omunye wabo usanda kubhalisela i-Onshape. Kuthiwani ngenani elanda ngokushesha losonkontileka bonjiniyela, abazimele, izitolo zamadizayini ezitolo emhlabeni wonke, Obaba abanamathuluzi kagesi amaningi kakhulu, izingane ezihlukanisa izinto, nanoma ubani okwamanje osebenzisa i-Sketchup?
Kungani ngeke ubhalisela i-OnShape, ngisho noma uzoyisebenzisa ngezikhathi ezithile?
Ama-apula nama-apula
“Manje linda” ucabanga (ngikhuluma nawe, @ScottMoyse), “kuthiwani ngeFusion 360?” Kusho kahle, Scott. Lapho nje besibheke khona.
I-Fusion 360 inenguqulo yamahhala nayo. Iphinde ibe nomkhiqizo ongu-$300/unyaka onamandla ngaphezu kwe-Onshape kulesi sigaba, kanye nomkhiqizo ongu-$1200/unyaka (inani elifana ncamashi nele-Onshape… hmmm….) osebenza kakhulu kakhulu. Umuntu angacabanga kuphela ukuthi intengo ye-Onshape iyisiteki esiphansi kunokuba ukulinganisa kwangempela kwamakhono ayo amanje. Ngeke senze ishadi lokuqhathanisa lesici okwamanje, kodwa kwanele ukusho ukuthi i-Onshape ngeke inqwabelane kahle ne-Fusion uma siwaqhathanisa namuhla.
Umuntu angase aveze ukuthi i-F360 idinga uhlelo lokusebenza olufakiwe ku-OS oyikhethayo, kuyilapho i-Onshape idinga isiphequluli kuphela. Abantu abaningi abakhumbuli ukuthi i-Fusion 360 ekuqaleni yayifana ne-Onshape, umkhiqizo osuselwe kusiphequluli ngokuphelele. Abasebenzisi bahlehliselwe emuva ngenxa enkulu yokusebenza kanye nemikhawulo yezithombe etholakala ku-WebGL, ingasaphathwa eyokusakazwa njalo kwedatha ye-IP edingekayo ukuze kugcinwe ithuluzi elingaphakathi kwesiphequluli lisebenza kusho ukuthi noma yikuphi ukufiphala okuncane ekuxhumekeni kubangela izinkinga ezinkulu. Iqiniso lokuthi i-F360 iwumkhiqizo ofakiwe namuhla akukhona ukuthi i-Autodesk ayikwazanga ukwakha inguqulo yesiphequluli, kodwa kungenxa yokuthi abasebenzisi bafuna izinga lokusebenza isiphequluli esingakwazi ukukunikeza.
Manje kungani, umuntu ezibuza, ingabe i-Onshape iyimali enkulu kune-F360? Akunjalo, ngempela. I-Fusion 360 ibijabulisa ngenkathi iphuma, futhi besilokhu siyibuka ngokulangazela kule minyaka embalwa edlule. Umehluko wukuthi manje kukhona ezimbili abadlali esikhaleni se-CAD sefu. Ukwengezwa kwe-Onshape kusho ukuthi i-CAD yefu ayisesona nje isilingo esincane ku-Autodesk Labs. I-Fusion 360 ibe yisinyathelo esikhulu esiya phambili, kodwa umkhiqizo omncane owodwa awenzi uguquko lwemboni. Nge-Onshape eringini, izinto ziba mnandi.
Yilwa Amandla
Angikwazi ukugcizelela ngokwanele ukuthi yini enkulu lena. Khohlwa ngezici, ukuhamba komsebenzi, ne-bla bla bla evamile mayelana namafu, ukubambisana, ukusebenzisana kwama-CAD amaningi, njll. Konke kumayelana ne-The Benjamins. Noma ngabe i-Onshape ngokwayo iphenduka i-dud (ngeke), maka amagama ami: umdlalo ushintshile.
Akusanele ukuthi i-MCAD Syndicates ithengise i-CAD “ngesihlalo” esinemikhawulo eyinkimbinkimbi yokuhlanganisa, izinhlelo ezixakile nezingenangqondo zamalayisense, kanye namanani entengo ayephuphelwe ezingxoxweni zokuthengisa ezingemuva e-Boeing noma ku-GM. Ngisho noma i-Onshape iphumelele nje ngokusesilinganisweni njengomkhiqizo ngokwayo, kuzophoqa imboni ukuthi ihlole kabusha amamodeli wemali engenayo ehlehlayo ukuze ivune iziphakamiso zenani ezilula, eziqonde kakhudlwana, ezigxile kumakhasimende.
I-Adobe iqale nge-Creative Cloud, inikezela wonke umugqa wabo womkhiqizo ngentengo eyodwa, elula. Kulula, kuyathengeka, futhi akunangqondo kumakhasimende afana nami. I-Autodesk yaba ngowesibili nge-Fusion 360, enikeza inkundla ecebile ye-CAD enezici ezihlaba umxhwele enemodeli yamanani entengo yezigaba ezimbili efile, enye engenangqondo kumabhizinisi amancane naphakathi nendawo adinga i-Mechanical CAD ngaphandle kwe-overhead yohlelo olugcwele lwe-PLM. Manje sekuyi-Onshape. Kuzothatha isikhathi eside ukuthi abadlali abakhulu bashintshe indlela, kodwa qiniseka ukuthi bazokwenza.
Futhi, ngidinga ukuphinda ngigcizelele iphuzu elibalulekile: lokhu akukhona nje ukubiza amanani ashibhile ngenxa yawo. Iphuzu lami alilingani kangako njengomqondo omuhle webhizinisi osebenzayo: ngokuqhuma kwentshisekelo kuma-extruder nozzles nezingcezu zokugaya emphakathini, imakethe engase ibe khona yamathuluzi okudala i-3D isanda kubhanana, ubhanana.
Ingabe lona umjaho wokuya phansi kweSihlahla Sesici? Ingabe i-MCAD ethuthukisiwe isizoba yimpahla eshibhile emakethe yokuphusha eqhutshwa amanani? Akulona ithuba. Kuzohlala kunesidingo sezinhlelo ezibizayo eziphezulu ezisekelwa kuphela i-elite niche, ngakho-ke zifuna i-premium. Kodwa njengoba isidingo samathuluzi omklamo we-3D anekhono siba ngovamile, lawo mathuluzi azoshibhile. Ukulingisa okuphezulu kanye namathuluzi okukhiqiza cishe azohlala eyilungelo elibizayo lamakhasimende amabhizinisi obunjiniyela abalulekile, kodwa ukudalwa kwejiyomethri kanye namathuluzi omklamo wokuhlanganisa ngeke.
Kwesinye isikhathi izimboni kumele zibe “ehudula ekhahlela futhi ememeza esihlahleni semali, futhi asinyakazise ngenxa yabo.” I-Onshape yenza lokho kanye.
Inkulumo-mpikiswano ehlukile
Ngihlale ngisho ukuthi uma ithuluzi le-CAD lingenza ngikhiqize ngokuphindwe kabili esimweni sebhizinisi, lelo thuluzi liwufanele umholo wami. Uma ngingathola umsebenzi ongabiza u-$160k kunjiniyela ongu-$80k ngokusebenzisa uhlelo lwe-XYZ CAD, kufanele ngizimisele ukukhokha i-XYZ CAD Systems Inc imali efinyelela ku-$80k ngayo. Noma yini engaphansi kwalokho, futhi bangenza imali. Uma bekhokhisa u-$40k, kungazelelwe bavele bangenzele u-$40k. Uma bekhokhisa u-$5k ngakho, ukuthenga i-XYZ CAD kungenze ngibe ngu-$75k. Isihogo yebo.
Kungakho kubaluleke kakhulu ukuqonda ukuthi engikusho lapha akukhona nje “ukukwazi ukuthenga” noma “intando yeningi” nanoma iyiphi i-Utopian fluff enjalo. Amasistimu we-MCAD angochwepheshe Okuyigugu. Amathuluzi amahle awagcini ngokuzikhokhela wona kuphela, angenzela imali. Futhi ngithanda ukwenza imali. I-Dassault, i-PTC, noma i-Siemens ingathembisa ukuphinda kabili okokukhipha kwami, ngizimisele ukukhokha kahle ngalokho. Kodwa imakethe yamathuluzi e-3D afana nalawa isishintshe kakhulu, futhi lelo iphuzu langempela lapha. Amathuluzi omklamo we-3D awasekho nje awezinkampani zobunjiniyela ezichwepheshile, ngakho-ke sonke isiphakamiso senani siyashintsha.
Uma ngikutshela ukuthi ngingathengisa izihlalo eziyisigidi ze-XYZ CAD ngonyaka olandelayo, ungavuma ukuyithengisa ngama-dollar ayi-100? Yebo ubungathanda. Futhi yilokho okwenzekayo. Yisikhathi esijabulisayo ukuba kulo mkhakha.
Qaphela, Nina Abaphika Amafu
Kancane kancane, ngeke ngikwazi ukuphetha lesi sihloko ngaphandle kwezwi kinina—naziyo ukuthi ningubani—nisabambelele ngokuqinile emifanekisweni yenu emincane ekhiywe nge-LAN, nilindele izinsuku lapho Amadoda Asengamadoda namaKhompiyutha kwakuBig Beige. Amabhokisi.
I-CAD in the Cloud isifikile. Kuyiqiniso, kulapha, futhi wonke umuntu uyakwenza. Abazondayo bayazonda futhi abathi cha, kodwa kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uyathanda noma awuthandi, eminyakeni eyishumi ezayo abasebenzisi be-CAD bedeskithophu bazonda isizungu, bakhungatheke, badluliselwe izingcezu zekhekhe emicimbini yokuzalwa yasehhovisi, futhi bakhathazeke ngokuyinqaba ngama-Swingline staplers. Njenganoma yiluphi ushintsho lwemboni, kunezinkinga-inala nge-Cloudy Thinking egcwele umhlaba we-MCAD eminyakeni yamuva nje, kodwa umkhondo ucacile: ideskithophu ye-CAD i-soooooo Y2K. (Oh Ama-Interwebs Anamandla, guqula ama-quadriceps akho aqhumayo!)
Kuthiwani ngama-PLM Dragons amabi aqongelela Idatha yakho Eyigugu enhliziyweni yentaba, ekuthumelela izikhumbuzo ze-imeyili zansuku zonke zokuthi "Yonke Idatha Yakho Ingezethu?" Kuyisihloko esikhulu. Masibe naleyo ngxoxo phezu kwengilazi yotshwala obumsulwa (“Uketshezi lwethu lomzimba oluyigugu!”) futhi sizitike ngozungu lokufika enyangeni ngemuva kwalokho.
O, futhi kwenzekani ku-Cloud CAD yakho lapho i-inthanethi iphansi? Bamba lowo mcabango, ngidinga ukuyofaka amafutha ejeneretha yami yasemuva futhi ngiphinde ngibeke amashalofu endaweni yokukhosela yamabhomu ephansi.
Akunandaba noma uyasukuma, nyakazisa izibhakela bese umemeza Ifu lokhu or I-Rentalware ukuthi. Uma ufuna ukuphila nge-MRE's ngenkathi usebenza endaweni engaphansi ekhiyiwe ngaphandle kwe-telegraph, inqwaba yamaphepha angenayo i-asidi napkins, kanye nenqolobane yakho eyintandokazi ye-India Ink rollerball, lokho ngeke kushintshe iqiniso lokuthi imboni iyashintsha. Kuzokwenzeka noma ngabe uhambisana nokugibela noma cha. Futhi lokho kuyinto enhle.
UCABANGANI?
Angikaze ngisolwe ngokuba nemibono embalwa kakhulu, noma ngokuyibamba ngokukhululeka. Sekushiwo lokho, angizibeki engozini izibikezelo zomphakathi kalula. Kuyiqiniso ukuthi ngenze ukubonisana kwe-OnShape, njengoba nje ngenze ezinye izinkampani eziningi kule minyaka eyisithupha noma eyisikhombisa edlule. Ngingumxhumanisi. Yilokho engikwenzayo.
Kodwa engikubhale lapha akukona ngempela nge-OnShape ngesekhondi ngalinye. Lesi sihloko, kanye nezimbalwa zokugcina engizibhalile, empeleni zimayelana nemboni eshintshayo. Nakuba ngingeke ngivume ukufakazela izimangalo ezinkulu mayelana nalokho okubizwa ngokuthi "inguquko" yokuphrinta ye-3D, (i-eye roll ethukuthele) umuntu kufanele avume ukuthi ukuvezwa komphakathi imboni ye-3D CAD okubonile ngenxa yalokho sekuvele kwaba amandla ushintsho, futhi enye indodakazi yami ezozuza kuyo.
Ngesikhathi indodakazi yami ifunda esikoleni esiphakathi, izobe isebenzisa amathuluzi afana ne-OnShape ukuze idizayine izinto zamaphrojekthi we-STEM njengendaba nje. Futhi lokho, bangane, kuyangijabulisa ngempela.
