"As a student working on a robotics project, Onshape is a lifesaver. The ability to jump from my laptop to my phone to check assemblies in the workshop is so seamless. It's powerful, intuitive with the Apple Pencil, and the best part is the cloud-native approach that keeps everything synced automatically."
