🚀 Mates are one of the biggest shifts when moving from traditional CAD to Onshape, and getting them right makes everything else easier.

On June 24, join us live as we build a complex assembly from scratch. You'll see the full workflow in action: component insertion, essential mate types, and advanced assembly tools like Replicate, Snap Mode, and Standard Content.

Walk away with practical techniques for cleaner, more manageable assemblies.

AI drawing CAD models is the demo. AI encoding the engineering logic that CAD executes - that's the product.

Michael LaFleche's latest breaks down exactly what that looks like in practice, from a parametric bookcase to a 2,166-line heat exchanger with live thermal math and an auto-generated weld schedule.

The problem with most AI-generated CAD is not that it generates CAD; it’s that it generates a one-time artifact—what could be a thousand-operation feature tree with no underlying logic—that becomes harder to change than it was to create in the first place. What if instead you used an AI to wri...

"The models are simplistic. They're extremely fragile. They don't have design intent." - Onshape's Darren Henry on most AI-generated CAD. Then he showed what's actually possible.

Roopinder Tara from ENGtechnica breaks down how FeatureScript changes the AI-for-CAD equation, and why text-to-CAD alone isn't enough:

At PTC NEXT, Darren Henry says Onshape's FeatureScript is his cheat code in the AI-for-CAD game.

Most hardware teams find problems too late. That’s a tooling problem.

Onshape handles CAD and PDM in one cloud-native system. Arena handles PLM. Together they close the loop, from first design branch to released part.

Find problems in design, not production:

See how Onshape and Arena connect CAD, PDM, and PLM into one workflow that surfaces problems earlier at every stage of development.

Spin Master develops hundreds of products each year across brands like Hatchimals, PAW Patrol, Rubik’s, and Tech Deck. By switching to Onshape, they unlocked 5X faster design and 20X faster collaboration across global teams, giving engineers more time to focus on innovation.

“Onshape helped remove the friction that was getting in the way of bringing those ideas to life.” - Hamid Hashemi, Senior Director of Engineering & BlueSky Innovation
