Versions, Branches and Merges are without a doubt some of the most powerful tools in Onshape. But they can feel confusing, maybe even a little dangerous. Like if you do it wrong, you might overwrite someone's work. Well, that's going to change because I'm going to show you an easy way to understand them. That will make you confident your model is not going to blow up when you merge a branch, even if you're using these tools as part of a team.

If someone's shared Onshape document with you via view only link, and you click it, you'll be greeted with a page that looks about like this. And this link is a really powerful way for people to evaluate design CAD for free without having to install anything at all.

And in this video, I'm going to put it to the test. And so I'm going to take the test part that I designed and use that Captive Nut Feature for, and we're going to print it out. The idea is we're going to print up to the point we need nut insert the nut, print over it and just keep moving. And then at the end, you'll have embedded nuts, metal nuts inside of the 3d print that can't be removed. If you haven't seen the other video, go check it out over here. And if you want to get the feature, if you're an Onshape user, you can find the link in the description.

Hey, what's up, today is the day that you're going to understand curvature continuity in a way that's intuitive, and memorable and simple enough to explain to a five-year-old [phonetic 00:10]. Let's get to it.

You can be amazing at Onshape without knowing how to code your own custom features, but there is one use of Featurescript that I think every professional or serious user should know how to do. And that's to use Featurescript to create lists of variables to drive your designs.

For every model and every stage of a project, there's an appropriate balance between the speed at which you're working and the amount of rigor that you apply to your model. And if you get it wrong, you're going to be wasting time. I'm going to show you in this video how we at Ovyl determine what the right level is for any particular moment in a project and how we communicate about it as a team. We do our work in Onshape. But this concept does not have any specific software that it applies to. If you're working in any parametric CAD system, Creo, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Inventor or something else, this is going to apply equally well.

CAD stands for Computer Aided Design and encompasses a variety of systems to help manufacturers, designers, engineers, architects, and countless other professionals as they strive for efficiency and expansion. 

Cell phones are everywhere. We all have them, but most of us haven't the vaguest idea of how they actually work.

What is WiFi? Wi-Fi is a system that allows computers, smartphones, and other devices to communicate wirelessly through a wireless connection within a given area or to connect to the internet.

Most of us have heard of Bluetooth, but if asked, what is Bluetooth, would be completely unable to answer the question.

LoRa (short for Long Range) devices and networks enable smart IoT applications, solving some of our biggest challenges

POCs, prototypes, and MVPs are all early versions of a product made for similar purposes. They each test the viability and appeal your potential product might bring to the market and the target users.

A simple firmware definition is that firmware is low-level code that runs on the hardware. In other words, it's the software on your hardware.

Wireless communication is a category of technology that can send or receive digitized messages without a direct connection. Combining computer processing with the basic principle allows more complex messages between the systems at faster speeds.

Bluetooth LE Audio is the next generation that will enhance the performance of Bluetooth audio and add to existing support for hearing aids. Bluetooth LE will also introduce Auracast™ broadcast audio, a new Bluetooth ability with the potential to again change the world of audio and how we connect with the world. LE Audio will bring a new level of quality to wireless technology and the Bluetooth standard. Bluetooth LE and Bluetooth LE Audio aren't the same thing either. LE Audio brings a new streaming feature to audio on Bluetooth. LE Audio is the latest Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) standard.

Wireless connectivity continues to run the IoT and the modern world. In 2017, Wi-Fi HaLow was approved and released. It is supported by the Wi-Fi Alliance. Wi-fi today continues to develop and expand, offering consumers more flexibility and usability. Wi-Fi HaLow meets the special needs of the IoT for industrial, agricultural, and smart environments for lower power connectivity offered by the newly certified technology.

5G is the fifth generation of mobile networks. It is the new worldwide wireless standard following its predecessors, the 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G networks. With 5G, a new form of wireless network has been developed that will connect virtually everyone and everything together, including machines, objects, and devices. 

A wireless network standard refers to the services and protocols that define how a network and other transmission networks function. There are several different wireless standards, but the most common is IEEE.802.11 Wireless LAN (WLAN) & Mesh. It is updated every few years by the IEEE with 802.10ax currently being rolled out.

The future is movement, to be exact, the future lies in the ability to keep pace with the next best innovation. Everyone from design to manufacturing is looking for the tools to shape their businesses and streamline efforts. So much so that the word “hybrid,” in terms of location and work, has become so commonplace in everyday vernacular. Companies are looking to cloud software to better collaborate and create more efficient products. Onshape presents a unique offering to designers, engineers, and manufacturers as they all work to create products for mass appeal. ‍

IoT devices are becoming increasingly popular as we enter the age of the Internet of Things (IoT) But what exactly are IoT devices?

We love bringing product ideas to life. To do this, we need well-defined processes. Furthermore, we need to break those processes down for you. 

Product design and product development are both terms used in the creation of new products and rebranding/upgrading of existing products.

With the nation recovering from a manufacturing freeze the number of new goods produced in the country has steadily been on the incline

Internet of Things (IoT) is among the most prominent innovations in recent times that has enhanced automation in many industries. According to Gartner, IoT has great potential for data generation across the roughly 20 billion endpoints expected to be in use in 2020

You may even want to consider the use of a rapid prototyping service. This is a prototyping service built around speed and easy replication. As such, we’ve outlined the benefits of rapid prototyping services and any related points to consider before choosing something that works for your company. 

As with all things in technology, Bluetooth exists to solve a specific problem. While people found additional uses for it over the years, this original purpose remains relevant, driving the technology forward. Therefore, by reading further, you will learn:

The concept of the smart home used to be rooted only in science fiction. Now, it's a reality. But do you ever feel like you're really struggling to get the most out of your smart home? Are you having trouble becoming well-versed in the brand of smart home products that you've chosen and how they connect with each other? If you're an Apple smart home user, for example, are you finding it difficult to use HomeKit?

while Bluetooth is a great technology overall, it's not always as reliable as you'd like. That's why it's important to learn how to extend the Bluetooth range.

One of the most notable revisions that hit the market in 2011 is Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) or Bluetooth 4.0. But, how is Bluetooth 4.0 different from Bluetooth Classic? Why do two partly incompatible protocols share a name?

In this guide, we’ll review key considerations before deciding what works best for your company and clients. By the end, you’ll have all the necessary resources to decide on the capabilities and price of your intended 3D printer.
