Onshape by PTC

What if one of the most powerful engineering tools isn’t software, but curiosity?

See how emotional intelligence helps teams collaborate, learn, and innovate faster:

Why Curiosity Builds Emotional Intelligence and Improves Engineering Workflows An engineering consultant discusses how cloud-native CAD paired with emotional intelligence will superpower team collaboration.

What if your CAD model could prepare itself for simulation?

We’ve been exploring exactly that with a multi-agent AI workflow connecting Onshape and NVIDIA Isaac Sim that automatically handles geometry, physics, and materials.

It’s a proof-of-concept, but the results are compelling → http://onshp.co/CX

Engineers aren’t always at their desks – they’re on the shop floor or at a trade show. If your CAD system still depends on specific machines, locations, or file sharing, it’s slowing decisions, collaboration, and production.

Here are 3 signs it’s holding your team back:

3 Signs Your CAD Software Can’t Keep Up Three indicators that file-based CAD is limiting distributed engineering teams with restricted access, hardware lock-in, and inefficient supplier collaboration.

Onshape in Athens. A Home Depot fridge. The edge of a national forest. A train. On the bus.

Engineers don't wait for the perfect setup.

Here are some of our favorite places people have opened Onshape:

🏛️ "I found a public doc of the Parthenon and couldn't help comparing it to the real one. The Parthenon and Onshape are 2,459 years apart." - Paul Premakumar

🛒 "One day I was at the Home Depot waiting in line for the saw, when I saw a fridge with a touchscreen with Chrome - so I signed in, then hopped on the same document on my iPhone. I claimed myself the world's first 'appliance to mobile phone 3D CAD design review.' This was November 13, 2016." - Alex Arevalo

🌲 "From the bed of my truck at the edge of the Nicolet National Forest during the Midwest Bikepacking Summit. Miraculously had a bar or two to create a phone hotspot - in follow mode!" - Nick Holzem

🚆 On the train in Germany. - Martin Meigassner

🚌 On the MBTA in Boston - Isaiah Jones

Where's the most unexpected place you've opened Onshape?

🤯 4,000 engineering hours. €120,000 saved annually, €50,000 alone on hardware. That's what Blocks Technology unlocked after switching from SOLIDWORKS to Onshape. Their search for a modern CAD+PDM system started with a common bottleneck: managing complex assemblies on hardware that couldn't keep up.

As a forward-thinking startup on a mission to make industrial-scale 3D printing more accessible, slow tools were working against their own goals. In the words of their CEO: "Onshape provides enterprise-level capabilities without enterprise-level complexity or cost."
