After operating for almost two years, Ondsel has made the difficult decision to cease operations and close down.

It was a pleasure using it. I wanted to switch from Fusion to Ondsel and tried to learn it as an alternative.

Did you use Ondsel?

    It is really sad to see them leave. They were one of the best open source citizens I know. We only have 1.0 today because of them (and many other contributors).

    I was always sceptical about them having a valuable business model. And I thought they’d have bigger pockets. Becaue IMO FC/Ondsel is only now starting to get usable enough for anyone whose time is measured in $ per hour. Paying 1000 $ for a license is not much, if it saves your worker only 1 hour each week. Just yesterday I had troubles importing a step file into FC. Some worked two didn’t. Ondsel could import them. That’s when I read the sad news…
