Ondsel

Basics

• A CAD Suite that uses FreeCAD for an Open-Core Model Business
• Seems to be mainly UX improvements, Added Cloud Service OPTION (Can be run offline with no limitations like FreeCAD; need to double check liscensing)
• Seems to be trying to not be an adversary to FreeCAD / FOSS Work, need to look into Open-Core more
• Either way seems to be more OS than OnShape but more remains to be seen
