Cloud-Native CAD & PDM

Design complex solid and surface models using top-down or bottom-up methodologies.

Create highly structured and detailed assemblies with built-in standard hardware and parts linked from other Documents.

Create detailed drawings of parts and assemblies with dimensions, surface finish and weld symbols, geometric tolerances and fully configurable drawing properties.

Create structural frame designs with a library of standard frame profiles, comprehensive frame trimming, and a built-in cut list.

Build complex families of parts and assemblies with separate tables for each configuration option, dramatically reducing the number of rows and cells.

Design complex, organic shapes using familiar tools like boundary surface, loft, and ruled surfaces.

Onshape’s fileless approach builds data management into all of its CAD workflows, streamlining your processes without the hassles or costs of traditional PDM systems.

Easily manage a configurable bill-of-materials (BOM) and make bidirectional edits to part numbers, materials, and metadata. Have confidence that your assembly and BOM are always in sync.

Enable teams with the flexibility to branch independent workspaces, compare different design variations, and merge the preferred option back into a unified project.

Track the latest status of a design from Progress to Pending Approval, Approved, Released, or Rejected with automated release management workflows.

Connect your CAD & PDM to PLM in the cloud with the Onshape-Arena Connection for frictionless quality and lifecycle management.

Get accurate mechanical guidance so you can make meaningful and interactive design decisions.

Generate, visualize, and simulate your manufacturing processes for 2.5 to 5-Axis simultaneous CNC machining operations.

Design electronics enclosures faster, and create custom circuit boards with bidirectional exchange of information between Onshape and ECAD solutions.

Create stunning visualizations of your product with photorealistic renderings, made possible by an extensive material library with versatile lighting and environmental options.

Automate, customize and extend your CAD tool by writing custom features with FeatureScript or use those created by the Onshape community.

View and interact with 3D scans of physical spaces or objects using Apple iPhones/iPads equipped with Lidar scanners.

Get more functionality in areas such as design, data management, simulation, and manufacturing thanks to Onshape’s partners and more.

Experience the power of CAD and PDM in the immersive world of spatial computing.
