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.).

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.”
