The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based OnShape, has an executive team that features not one but two ex-CEOs of SolidWorks Corporation (also a Massachusetts company) and many of its other executives and key engineers are SolidWorks alums. Now the original team behind the leading MCAD application (SolidWorks) have teamed up to create a new venture called OnShape-stating on their website: “Founded by the original SolidWorks team plus elite engineers from the data center, security, and mobile industries, OnShape is applying cloud, web and mobile technologies to CAD.” The majority of our SolidWorks customers are not interested in a Mac OS X version, only a small minority of our users are asking for that.” Original SolidWorks Developers Team to Create New OnShape Venture
In what may be a stark contrast to the present feeling in today’s platform wars, Fielder Hiss of SolidWorks said emphatically, “No. MORE: SolidWorks Corporation denies existence of Mac OS X version-says hearsay wrong In 2008 there was a strong rumor that Mac users were going to get their wish but SolidWorks Corporation contacted Architosh directly to say the rumor wasn’t true.
For years and years there have been many readers at Architosh clamoring for a native OS X version of the industry leading SolidWorks, an industrial strength mechanical CAD application used worldwide by many of the leading industrial corporations.
