Cloud-Native CAD Software for Agile Robotics Design

Speed up development cycles, improve collaboration, and innovate faster with cloud-native CAD for robotics and automation

CAD That Moves as Fast as Robotics Innovation

Robotics is a fast-paced field, whether you're building autonomous vehicles, industrial automation systems, or robotic arms. Onshape helps your team iterate faster, collaborate globally, and manage complex designs without slowing down development.

Why Robotics Teams Rely on Onshape

Agile Robotics to Address Labor Shortages

DHL’s Digital Manufacturing Group uses Onshape to rapidly develop custom robotic systems. The platform’s real-time collaboration and built-in data management enable fast iteration, helping the team respond to labor shortages and boost operational efficiency.

Scaling Design Teams Without Chaos

VIKASO leverages Onshape to streamline collaboration between internal teams and external partners. As the team grows, Onshape’s built-in PDM and device-agnostic access prevent version control issues and reduce hardware costs by 50%, enabling smooth, scalable operations.

Seamless Alignment Across Global Teams

Formulatrix connects engineering teams in the U.S. and Indonesia through Onshape’s cloud-native platform. Real-time collaboration and a comprehensive Edit History ensure alignment across time zones, eliminating version conflicts and speeding up design cycles.

Time Savings Through Integrated Data Management

Avidbots reclaims 50% of their product design time by using Onshape’s integrated CAD and PDM system. Eliminating manual file syncing allows the team to focus on innovation and accelerate time-to-market for its autonomous cleaning robots.

Mobile-First CAD for Dynamic Teams

Hirebotics relies on Onshape’s mobile capabilities to design and deploy robotic welders in the field. Engineers can access and edit CAD models from any device, enabling fast, flexible development in dynamic manufacturing environments.

Open-Source Development at Global Scale

FarmBot empowers over 300 contributors worldwide to co-develop its open-source CNC farming machines. Onshape’s cloud-native collaboration tools support concurrent development, boosting productivity by up to 100% and fostering a vibrant, community-driven ecosystem.
