There is nothing to install on the PC nd they have good version control. > OnShape is good if you like the abilty to sign on from any PC in theworld and access your data. Although you loose some information, it works well enough. You can use this feature to move work between OnShape and Fusion as each can save and read industry standard STEP files.

Both CAD systems allow you to download your files and archive them locally. But this is REQUIRED if you want to do collaborative work over the Internet. > Some people do not like the idea that all your design data is kept in the cloud. This is a big deal if you want metal parts. It can drive a machine tool with no third-party software. > One thing that sets them apart is Fusion has built-in CAM. Some people care about this and others don't care. Fusion allows you to keep projects private.

This is how OnShape keeps commercial users for cheating and using free accounts, their competitors can see all their work. > One thing that is for some a 'deal killer' for OnShape is the restriction that people with free licenses can NOT keep their data private. Both are what we call 'modern 3D modeling systems' that do not work like 1980's CAD at all. Fusion has I think a few better modeling features and Onshape, I think, has better data management features. Both are fast on a modern i7 with good GPU The user interface and the general way they work is close. OnShape is sluggish with bigger designs on my way-old iMac. Because Fusion is a native app, I think Fusion is faster. THis means OnShape runs on any computer, even Linux. Fusion is a bit of a local/cloud hybrid while OnShape is 100% cloud/Web based. > One difference is the OnShape is 100% web browser based while Fusion runs as a native app on Windows or Mac but has a cloud-based component. I've used both but have settled on Fusion360.

> I think OnShape and Fusion360 are competitors as they can do much the same thing and have similar modeling features. > On Wed, at 7:52 PM Chris Albertson > wrote: I doubt most of us will run into any issues that *Require* Altium.Īlso, it is a lot easier to share PCB designs around HBRC if the tool is totally free. With regards to Altium, the KiCAD is free and very usable these days. If you can afford a SolidWorks license, go for it.

No arguments, but the Original Post was about FLOSS software, hence the emphasis on free. > Still, is Solidworks 'THE' Gold Standard of CAD / CAM programs?

But I did not get the 918MAKER code to work. > Solidworks used to give you 12 months as a 'Maker' for free. Altium sort-of has a free version called Circuit Maker which also has you keep your projects public. In industry, what I see pretty universally is Solidworks for MechE design and Altium for EE / PCB design. > I think this leaves out one Gorilla in the room: Solidworks. > I so greatly appreciate your comments, Chris, and all who've contributed to this discussion.

The assembly system fiasco pretty much rules it out for serious work right now. There are 3 semi-competing assembly modules - A2P, A3, and A4. Its primary problem is that the development team can't decide how they When we had our presentation about M-CAD, we presented Fusion-360 (not really free, put prettyįree for non-commercial use), SolveSpace (unclear if it scales to larger systems), OpenSCAD, and Frankly, BRL-CAD does not look like it has a very active My first experience was awful, but that was well over aĭecade ago, so it could have improved. I personally alleviate some of the tedium by using a Python library to Many of us are using OpenSCAD, which involves writing a program that renders your parts. There is not a lot to choose from in FLOSS (Free Libre Open Source Software) right now.
