Hmm, the post shows that the case was designed in OnShape but the screenshot shows that's its an imported STEP file from Solidworks(?). Admittedly though, I haven't used OnShape since they removed the private project options so I might be wrong.
Understandably, OnShape and Fusion360 (the HSMWorks/CAM integration in it is awesome.) is great for startups and hobbyist. But if you're trying to design some large assemblies or things with complex organic shapes, Solidworks is significantly superior in every way (I'm extremely bias since Solidworks is my favorite CAD software). I know the price is a lot for a startup but I highly recommend any company trying to get into the hardware side of things, to stick with the "foundational" CAD software because in the current CAD software landscape, the investment into these software would pay off in less than a year.
Wow, you paid attention to the details! Yea, the screenshot was just for the purpose of the post.
We did some of the original design in OnShape and some of it in SolidWorks. I didn't want to recommend SolidWorks for cheap work because at the time we only got it free because we were students.
We've found that it isn't that hard to start off a design in OnShape and then move it into SolidWorks as things get more complicated. It isn't ideal, but it's definitely cheaper.
Financially cheaper yes. I've tried Onshape for 6 months and I didn't find it as immediate or as fast as Solidworks. Particularly when modelling multi-component assemblies.
Onshape monthly price for a pro licence is about 1/3 the price of Solidworks monthly (on finance), for me Solidworks is a clear winner here even though it costs more.
But, Onshape is a revolution in the free CAD space. Perfect for simple products like this ;)
