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
