Tonight at 7pm the Onshape team will be giving another webinar to teach your team about migrating from another CAD system. You can learn about Onshape’s capabilities and functionality, including its ability to enable collaboration and ideation for your team. Take advantage of “Importing” and “Direct Editing” to successfully migrate your existing team data and organize it in Onshape.
Is Onshape available free to FRC mentors who don’t have a school email address? If they are listed by the FRC team as a mentor on the team’s FRC Dashboard.
Yes, it is available to FRC mentors with whatever email you choose. To create your account or upgrade your existing free account, go to https://www.onshape.com/en/education/, select “Create Free Account”, and then fill out the following form. Feel free to PM with questions!
Any time a company is acquired, there is fear that what was great about the company might go away. Quite happily, PTC’s acquisition of Onshape has not diminished the commitment to education that Onshape started with, and has quite possibly made it even better.
I can’t thank Onshape and PTC enough for making it super easy for everyone on a FIRST team, whether school-based or not, to collaborate in CAD. They set the bar very high for software in education.
