Onshape at CES 2026: Where Innovation Meets the Show Floor

CES (Consumer Electronics Show) had humble beginnings in the late 60s in New York City.

Over the decades, the event has evolved into the world’s premier technology trade show, now held annually in Las Vegas. It has been the launchpad for transformative innovations: the VCR in 1970, CD player in the 1980s, high-definition TV in the 1990s, and later smartphones, IoT, and AI-driven technologies. Historically, CES has shaped consumer tech trends, influenced global markets, and served as a critical networking hub for industry leaders, investors, and media.

Today, it reflects broader priorities, such as sustainability, electric vehicles, and immersive digital experiences, cementing its role as a bellwether for technological progress. And behind every product on the show floor is a team that designed and shipped it under tight deadlines.

That’s why Onshape fits right in at CES. As PTC’s cloud-native product development platform, Onshape is built for fast-moving consumer product teams – the kind showing up in Las Vegas with innovative products.

At CES 2026 this year, you’ll find us at the PTC Booth (#6027) in the LVCC West Hall.

For consumer product companies, like many Onshape customers, it’s the ultimate opportunity to connect with partners, customers, and industry leaders who are defining what’s next.
