Project Overview

ProtoTech Solutions successfully developed and launched three cutting-edge exporters 3D PDF Exporter, WebGL Exporter, and OBJ Exporter on the Onshape platform. These tools empower Onshape users to seamlessly export Part Studios and Assemblies into widely accepted formats, demonstrating ProtoTech’s deep technical expertise and innovation on the Onshape platform.

Challenges

  1. Unstandardized Payment Plans: Onshape lacked a predefined payment framework for consumable services, complicating financial transactions and export management.
  2. Network Reliability Issues: Interruptions during export transactions posed a risk of incomplete downloads, leading to potential billing discrepancies and user dissatisfaction.

Solutions

  • Transaction Reliability with ACID Properties: Implementing Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability (ACID) properties ensured every transaction was fail-safe.
  • File Confirmation Before Charging: The system validated successful file downloads directly from the user’s browser before charging, ensuring financial accuracy.
  • Error Handling and Rollbacks: In case of network failures, transactions were rolled back to the last committed state, with the amount automatically refunded to the user’s Onshape account, maintaining trust and satisfaction.

Benefits

  • Reliability and Security: Users were charged only after confirming successful downloads, building trust and transparency.
  • Protection Against Network Failures: Transactions were safeguarded against interruptions, ensuring users faced no financial loss or incomplete processes.
  • Enhanced User Experience: The exporters provided a user-friendly way to convert Onshape Part Studios and Assemblies into formats like 3D PDF, WebGL, and OBJ, improving usability and productivity.

“We thank ProtoTech for being early adopters of the Onshape platform. We are impressed by the technical prowess of ProtoTech’s team. There was no turning back once they started off and are super responsive too.”
