Briefing – Design and Prototyping: Invent something and make millions easily

June 19, 2018 by Sam Francis

In this article, Robotics and Automation News wonders what it would be like to invent something and make millions from it

Many people dream of inventing something amazing and making millions or even billions from it. And here at the office, we’re no different.

All of us have ideas of our own and some of us are shameless enough to talk about them, although, as many of you will know, designing and developing, and then manufacturing and selling a product is not an easy task.

But without getting into the complexities further down the line, let’s look at the stage at which it’s just an idea.

Onshape introduces programming language to its online 3D design application

June 14, 2016 by Sam Francis

Onshape, the online 3D design software, is introducing a programming language to its application which the company says will enable designers to “create their own features that look, feel and behave just like Onshape’s built-in features”.

Onshape says it recognizes that the design challenges for each industry and every company are different. And this is one of the main reasons why Onshape is introducing FeatureScript, a new open programming language that lets CAD users create their own built-in parametric features or modify existing ones.

The company says FeatureScript will enable designers to change the way Onshape works. FeatureScript is the same language used to develop all of Onshape’s current features (Extrude, Fillet, Shell, Loft, and so on) and has already been used millions of times by Onshape users, perhaps without realizing it.

By making FeatureScript public – available to all Free, Professional and Enterprise Customers – full-cloud Onshape says it is now offering “the first truly customizable parametric CAD feature set”. [Read more…] about Onshape introduces programming language to its online 3D design application
