Why Onshape for Mechanical Design 

How Onshape Benefits Your Project

Miller Design Services uses Onshape as its primary CAD platform because it helps provide a smoother, more efficient design experience for your project.

For custom automation equipment, tooling, production machinery, and mechanical design support, Onshape offers a modern way to collaborate, review progress, and manage revisions without the friction of traditional file-based CAD workflows.

Faster Iterations

Shrink development timelines with cloud-native computing that eliminates local computer processing bottlenecks.

Client-First Advantages

Real-Time Collaboration

You, your team, and Miller Design Services can review the same current model when needed, reducing confusion over which version is current.

Secure Cloud Access

Secure, permission-controlled cloud access with instant access for distributed teams with reduced risk of local file copies.

The Path from Concept to Production

Concept Modeling

Rapid design with Onshape allows for multi-part modeling in a single context, enabling faster design iterations and fewer errors when evaluating mechanical motion.
