Why Onshape?
Accelerate product development with the power of cloud computing, real-time collaboration tools, and a built-in PDM system – all for the same price as CAD.
Why do over 3 million users trust Onshape for their Design Needs?
Cloud Native CAD
Unlike file-based CAD, which relies on fragile file references and slow check-in/check-out procedures, Onshape uses the full power of cloud architecture to transcend these limitations. Cloud-native CAD provides a centralized repository of design data, eliminating the problems of lost data and the need for users to manage their own files. Onshape is accessible on any web browser, allowing users to access, manage and share their design data securely from anywhere in the world on any web-connected device.
Robust Collaboration
Onshape is a multi-user environment, one that allows designers, internal teams, customers, and external partners to access, collaborate, and work concurrently from conception to production. Onshape’s built-in collaboration tools allow teams to streamline their communication by enabling quicker responses to feedback, customer needs and market demands. As a result, product development teams can explore more alternative ideas and launch more innovative products.
Lower Cost
Onshape’s flexible pricing plans offer out-of-the-box solutions for product development in the cloud for teams of all sizes. With a zero-IT footprint, Onshape delivers a 24/7 stable design platform in a web browser and doesn't require an investment in high-performance workstations, dedicated servers or administration. Time is money. While efficiency costs can be less tangible than software and hardware costs, Onshape is saving teams 50%+ of their design time with modern advancements like built-in PDM, collaboration tools and business analytics.
Built-in PDM
Onshape's built-in Product Data Management (PDM) includes a set of powerful tools for managing and controlling design data within a 3D CAD environment. Onshape eliminates files entirely, removing the most frustrating bottlenecks associated with traditional CAD and PDM systems. Teams can edit the same design concurrently with real-time updates – there is no need to check-in, check-out or lock files. With Onshape, it is easy to store and track metadata associated with parts and assemblies, enabling users to find and reuse existing designs more efficiently, saving valuable time and money.
Agile Product Development
The fastest moving industries trust Onshape for agile design, adopting the best practices from software development for creating hardware products. Cloud-native Onshape enables teams to collaborate on designs in real time or asynchronously, and provides automatic version control, resulting in faster iterations. Onshape helps streamline communication between the core engineering team and non-CAD users across the organization – or with outside clients or partners.
Automation and Customization
Onshape offers powerful automation and customization tools, such as FeatureScript, an open-source programming language enabling companies to create their own custom CAD features. FeatureScript helps engineering teams eliminate repetitive tasks and create custom workflows tailored to their specific industry needs. FeatureScript is the same programming language used to create all of Onshape’s standard features.
