Xometry Instant Pricing App for Onshape

Onshape is a cloud-based CAD software system delivered over the Internet via a software as a service (SaaS) model. This means that it does not require complex IT infrastructure or hardware to run and is accessible on various devices through your web browser or mobile apps. Onshape's powerful collaboration tools allow for multiple designers and engineers to simultaneously work together on the identical product design and avoid common pitfalls around revision control with its built-in data management system.

Xometry's app for Onshape can be enabled from the Onshape app store and allows engineers and designers to quote and purchase custom manufactured parts from within their CAD workspace with ease. The Xometry app analyzes the geometry of the CAD design then allows the user to select the material, process, and quantity to get real-time pricing and lead times, all while providing useful design-for-manufacturing (DFM) feedback along the way. This seamless integration of custom manufacturing quotes allows engineers and designers to see the impact of any design choice on their budget and product development timeline. Users can finalize their custom parts order from Xometry online.
