Onshape approachedsheet metal designdifferently than competing CAD packages. Instead of requiring users to repeatedly unfold and fold their sheet metal design in order to add various features, Onshape simultaneously displays the flattened sheet metal view at all times. This enables...
You can use expressions in any numeric feature in Onshape, including features, dimensions, variables, and even configuration tables. Expressions evaluate usingFeatureScriptand the result must contain no units or units to the first power (such as length, but not area or volume). Most...
Keep an eye out to see even more of this from us in the coming year. The industry has its work cut out for itself, but we're blazing a path forward printer by printer, user by user. What advice would you give to people who deliberately want to start building a...
including any changes we decided in the previous step. In order to do this, I've usedOnshapeand I highly recommend it. You may take a look atmy 3D modelsin case they are of any help. We will create a different part for each piece of the case, and then make an assembly including ...
However, it becomes restrictive if you ever want to progress to more 3-dimensional shapes. Gosedopp was using 2.5D rotary engraving, which involves using a spinning routing or milling tool to cut thin grooves into the wood. What is Robot Engraving? The approach that Jan Gosedopp took was ...

Click one of the Array tools (Rectangular Array, Path Array, or Polar Array) to create an array of the object you select. The Trim tool lets you cut a segment or side of an object that meets the border of another object, turning them into a single object. The Fillet and Chamfer tools...
