Summary
This case study details the collaboration between Trek Bicycle and Onshape, focusing on the transition to a cloud-native CAD and PDM platform. Trek faced significant challenges with their previous CAD system, including outdated servers, software version mismatches, and system crashes, which led to inefficiencies in the product development process. The adoption of Onshape allowed Trek to streamline their design workflow by providing a single source of truth accessible from any device, enhancing real-time collaboration among engineers and suppliers. The case study outlines how Onshape's features, such as Custom Cable Routing FeatureScript and Bridging Curves, significantly reduced design time and improved accuracy. It also highlights the benefits of Onshape's frequent release cycle, which ensures that engineers have access to the latest tools without the burden of manual updates. Overall, the integration of Onshape has enabled Trek to enhance their product development speed and efficiency while maintaining high standards of design quality.
