Onshape Vision App

An immersive CAD and spatial computing experience for Apple Vision Pro

Visualize Your Product Designs and Collaborate Like You’ve Never Done Before

At last, product designers can extend the power of their CAD and PDM system to the immersive world of spatial computing. Apple Vision Pro is a wearable device that seamlessly blends lifelike digital content with users’ real physical environments. Users can intuitively explore 3D CAD models with their hands, eyes, and voice – there are no external buttons or controls.

The Onshape Vision app transforms flat computer models into virtual life-size products that designers can hold, pull apart and inspect as if they were already built. The app works in sync with Onshape’s cloud-native CAD and PDM system, enabling any changes in the product model to be updated in real time within the infinite canvas of Apple Vision Pro.  

Onshape Vision enhances the way distributed product development teams collaborate and conduct design reviews. When brainstorming and sharing feedback with colleagues, participants from multiple locations can explore realistic 3D models of their products as if they were working together in the same room. Interacting with technology has never felt more natural!

Key Benefits

An Onshape user picks up a 3D digital part with his hand for closer examination. Onshape Vision is a CAD and PDM app for the Apple Vision Pro, a wearable spatial computer.

Improved Clarity on Fit and Function

Visualize your product in the context of how and where it will be used. For example, does your machine fit on the factory floor where you intend to install it? Are the electrical contacts in the correct location? Does it work in concert with other machines nearby?

Better Insights on User Experience

Viewing your product at full scale – or shrinking it down so it fits on your physical workspace – can encourage new perspectives and help identify potential improvements. You can have the virtual model sit in front of you on a table and reference it as you make CAD changes.

Immersive, Real-Time Design Reviews

You can more effectively review and discuss features of your design with the “real thing” sitting on the conference table. Closely inspect digital parts, visually explaining your ideas with more impact.

Collaborating with Apple Vision Pro feels different than the traditional video conferencing experience. When talking with colleagues anywhere in the world, you'll be interacting with the same models in real-time.

Enhanced Collaboration

Communicating with Apple Vision Pro feels far more natural than the traditional video conferencing experience. When examining your products with colleagues anywhere in the world, you’ll feel as though you are all working in the same room. You can also type comments directly into the Onshape Vision app, just like you do when creating your original CAD models.
