PTC Onshape is Easy-to-use, continuously updated, online CAD platform

What is Onshape?

Founded in 2012, Onshape was acquired by PTC in November 2019. Onshape is a cutting edge- cloud based SAAS (Software as a Service) design platform. It is another step-change in CAD - no files, no version control issues, no updates/patches/installs, no heavy compute power needed! Onshape is an all-in-one system that combines CAD, release management, workflow, collaboration, analytics, admin tools, and an API with more than 50 engineering applications. This cloud based software enables a new paradigm in product development - one that is very exciting and will rely on distributed engineers working from anywhere (an office, at home, on the beach, etc.).

What to expect from Onshape.

• Never crashes, never needs to save.
• Fast performance with large models (still had loading time, but way faster than CAD software).
• Branching and merging models are way better. Easy to iterate.
• Sharing models with outside stakeholders is just like Google drive.
• Easy on the eyes and a pleasure to use.
• Languages Supported - German, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Chinese (Simplified)

PTC Onshape: A Revolutionary Cloud-Based CAD Platform

Onshape is redefining how product design and engineering are approached with its innovative cloud-based platform. Since its acquisition by PTC in 2019, Onshape has gained widespread popularity, transforming the way teams collaborate and innovate. With no need for file management, updates, or expensive hardware, Onshape simplifies the CAD experience, making it more accessible and efficient for teams of all sizes.

Key Features and Benefits

• Onshape’s cloud-native architecture ensures a seamless experience across devices, whether you are at the office, at home, or even working remotely on the go.
• The platform's real-time collaboration capabilities allow teams to work simultaneously on the same design, making it easier to iterate, share, and make decisions quickly.
• With automatic saving and native revision tracking, Onshape eliminates the risk of data loss and version control issues.
• Another advantage is its flexibility in handling large models with remarkable speed.
• It’s designed for performance, allowing users to work on complex designs without the need for high-powered computing resources.
• Onshape’s branching and merging features further simplify the iterative design process, enabling users to test multiple design ideas without confusion.

Cost-Effective and Scalable

Onshape eliminates the need for expensive hardware upgrades, as its powerful processing is done in the cloud. It’s an ideal solution for businesses that want to scale quickly without the upfront costs of high-performance computers. Additionally, with Onshape’s pay-as-you-go model, businesses only pay for what they use, offering further cost efficiency.

Why Onshape Stands Out

Onshape is ideal for businesses seeking an easy-to-use, scalable solution without the traditional constraints of on-premise CAD software. Additionally, the platform’s integrated analytics and release management tools offer enhanced workflow capabilities and better control over the product development cycle.

Onshape is growing in popularity every day.

Over thousands of companies across the globe count on Onshape to modernize and streamline their product development cycle. Onshape users in 170+ countries have logged over 8 million hours modelling advanced robotics, biomedical devices, industrial machinery, agriculture equipment, and consumer products. With 1 in 8 sessions occurring on mobile devices, Onshape is the world's first anywhere, anytime product design platform.

One of the customer’s reviews!

“The philosophy of being useful and reducing the amount of clicks is great. But even better is their support. If I get stuck or want a change, I can make a screenshot, annotate, and within a day I get advice on how to approach a problem or a workaround. And good ideas become an improvement request. This way Onshape is on top of the practical details of how the tool is used.”
