Onshape Case Study on Custom Truck One Source

This case study details the transition of Custom Truck One Source to the Onshape cloud-native CAD and PDM platform. The document outlines the challenges faced by Custom Truck, including limitations of their previous SOLIDWORKS CAD system, which hindered collaboration among a geographically dispersed team and resulted in significant downtime and inefficiencies. The case study presents how Onshape's features, such as branching and merging, facilitate simultaneous design iterations, allowing engineers to work collaboratively without disrupting each other's progress. It also highlights the expected benefits of this transition, including a projected 15% reduction in design task time and substantial cost savings on hardware and IT infrastructure. Custom Truck anticipates that adopting Onshape will enhance their productivity and support their strategic shift towards vertical integration in manufacturing, enabling them to design and produce critical parts internally. The case study serves as an informative resource on the impact of cloud-based CAD solutions in industrial manufacturing.
