Onshape CAD Software

Onshape is a pioneering cloud-native computer-aided design (CAD) platform that combines 3D modeling, data management, and real-time collaboration tools. It was specifically built as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, allowing engineers and designers to access their work from any web browser or mobile device without the need for traditional local installations or high-end workstations.

The platform was founded in 2012 by a team of CAD industry veterans, including the original creators of SolidWorks. Its infrastructure is primarily developed and hosted in the United States, utilizing advanced cloud computing resources. In 2019, the brand reached a major milestone when it was acquired by PTC Inc., a global leader in industrial software, which continues to integrate Onshape into its digital transformation and lifecycle management ecosystem.
