Case Study: ZYCI achieves rapid, high‑end custom production and two‑hour quotes with Onshape

Boutique manufacturer ZYCI credits Onshape for enabling it to rapidly process high­-end customized orders

ZYCI is an Atlanta-based boutique manufacturer that focuses on highly customized, low- to medium-volume CNC and 3D‑printed parts with exceptionally fast turnaround. The company’s value proposition—price quotes within two hours and shipping parts in under two weeks—required immediate, secure access to customers’ CAD files from any device and the ability to rapidly convert and review diverse file formats, something traditional licensed desktop CAD software made slow and cumbersome.

By adopting Onshape’s cloud CAD platform, ZYCI can open any CAD format, collaborate in real time from any computer or browser, control file access for security, and convert 2D drawings into 3D models on demand. The result is consistent two‑hour quoting, maintained fast production timelines, stronger customer collaboration and IP protection, and a stream of lucrative orders across aerospace, medical, defense and luxury markets in its first year.
