Trek Bicycle
Industry: Consumer Products
Headquarters: Waterloo, Wisconsin, USA
Company Size: 5,001-10,000 employees
Impact: Faster iterations, zero file version errors, and time savings on cable routing designs accelerated Trek’s product development.
Onshape ist die nächste Version von CAD. Das alte CAD ist sehr schwer, klobig und archaisch. Und wenn ich an die Onshape-Plattform denke, ist das die nächste Iteration. Aus Sicht des Supports ist es leichter; wir müssen weniger tun, um uns darum zu kümmern und es zu verwalten. Die Onshape-Plattform ist das Tool, das wir aus diesen Gründen ausgewählt haben.“
BOA Technology
Industry: Consumer Products
Headquarters: Denver, Colorado, USA
Company Size: 51-200 employees
Impact: A 25% productivity boost, faster product cycles through real-time collaboration, and 24/7 global alignment with stakeholders.
The difference is night and day. … Now we can focus on solving problems instead of managing files. Everyone’s working from the same source of truth, and that has a huge impact on how fast we move.’’
CIXI
Industry: Motor Vehicle Manufacturing
Headquarters: Poisy, France
Company size: 51-200 employees
Impact: Zero CAD crashes save 40+ hours per engineer annually, hardware costs cut by 75%, and seamless real-time collaboration enabled.
Onshape’s versioning system lets us navigate between several branches or return to a previous version extremely easily and quickly compared to a file-based system.’’
Norden Mfg
Industry: Machinery Manufacturing
Headquarters: North Bloomfield, Ohio, USA
Company size: 51-200 employees
Impact: 50% faster onboarding, zero file management issues, and built-in simulation tools for instant design validation.
Mit SOLIDWORKS Simulation musste ich das Modell komplett packen und es auf meinen lokalen Computer verschieben, um das Szenario einzurichten. Dann drückte ich die Daumen, dass es laufen würde, und wenn ich eine Designänderung vornahm, musste ich von vorne anfangen. Mit Onshape richte ich es einfach ein und los geht's. Ich benutze es jetzt viel häufiger, weil es immer da ist und funktioniert.“
Exxentric
Industry: Consumer Products
Headquarters: Stockholm, Sweden
Company size: 11-50 employees
Impact: Faster design cycles, higher quality products, and better cross-team collaboration accelerated product development across the board.
Our CEO, who is very forward thinking and likes innovation, felt that file-based CAD systems were outdated and clunky. He was drawn to Onshape’s collaboration capabilities enabled by it being cloud-based.’’
K2 Ski
Industry: Consumer Products
Headquarters: Bellevue, Washington
Company size: 501-1,000 employees
Impact: Streamlined communication across global teams and customized automation workflows reduced design time by 20%-25%
In file-based systems, you're always cautious. You’re waiting for someone to check something in or worrying if the version you're looking at is the right one. That friction slows everyone down. Onshape removes that entirely.’’
Alternative Engineering, Inc.
Industry: Industrial Machinery Manufacturing
Headquarters: Belmont, Michigan, USA
Company size: 11-50 employees
Impact: Eliminated wait time on large files, saving 10,000 engineering hours annually – worth $1.25 million in productivity gains.
Wenn Onshape weggehen würde, würde uns das jetzt lähmen. Wir würden überleben, aber das würde meine Fähigkeiten als Spiralrutsche zerstören. Ohne ein gutes Programm existieren wir nicht.“
