Onshape by PTC

Onshape by PTC Onshape is a cloud-native CAD & PDM platform that enables collaboration and accelerates the product design process from concept to manufacture.

Onshape is the world's most widely used cloud-native product development platform. Millions of users and thousands of companies rely on Onshape to accelerate their product development processes. Onshape is a modern CAD system that eliminates design gridlock, freeing engineers to focus on their products. Combining advanced 3D modeling tools with built-in data management (PDM) in a secure cloud workspace, Onshape allows users to collaborate in real time, anywhere and from any device helping teams build better products faster. Onshape helps companies make better business decisions with analytics and unprecedented visibility into their company’s design and manufacturing processes. Founded in 2012 by the creators of SOLIDWORKS®, Onshape was acquired by PTC in November 2019 and is a SaaS business unit within PTC. Onshape is also connected to Arena PLM in the cloud.

This robot just landed on TIME's Best Inventions of 2026 list... 🤖👀

Meet Thorvald, the autonomous agricultural robot by Saga Robotics that's changing how vineyards protect their crops.

The team uses Onshape to design, collaborate, and iterate on Thorvald's modular architecture, helping bring this innovative technology to life.

Big congrats to the Saga Robotics team. We love to see this kind of engineering get the spotlight. 👏

Ever spent more time searching for a part than redesigning it?

AI-Generated Thumbnail Description Search, an Onshape Labs feature, generates searchable descriptions from model thumbnails, making it possible to find parts based on appearance, not just names and metadata ➡️ https://onshp.co/GY

250.67 mph. That's not a typo. That's a remote-controlled car. 🤯⚡

Meet the Mach Reaper, a Guinness World Records-breaking RC car designed by engineer Stephen Wallis in Onshape in just eight months.

From refining its suspension to perfecting its wheels, every iteration helped squeeze out a little more speed.

Now he's chasing 300 mph. Because apparently 250 wasn't fast enough.

▶️Watch his story, then check the comments for a closer look at the engineering.

What does it take to engineer Rocky’s protective bubble from Project Hail Mary? 🪨🤖🫧

We took the bubble’s geometry as a design challenge and put FeatureScript MCP to the test. 🧑‍💻

Instead of simply modeling what we saw, we explored how to turn the underlying concept into a reusable parametric feature.

The result lets you control how tightly the bubble conforms to Rocky, adjust the fit, or apply the same capability to an entirely different model, like a custom shrink wrap.

A fun example of how natural language and AI can turn engineering requirements into reusable design tools in Onshape.

How do you protect a drone’s navigation system from heat and water, and make an enclosure you can actually manufacture?

These Tufts University students took on that challenge with Onshape for their senior capstone.

Choosing materials, testing assumptions, and solving real problems starts well before graduation.

Meet the aircraft now featured on cad.onshape.com!

Marble's MRB5 is an electric, autonomous aircraft designed to collect high-resolution data in some of the world’s most remote environments.

🔋Robotic hangars house, charge, and service the UAVs
✈️ Its airframe is built almost entirely from fiberglass-infused 3D-printed material
💡Using Onshape branching and merging, Marble can redesign, test and return a section to manufacturing in as little as one week
☁️ The team estimates Onshape has made them at least 2X more productive

See how Marble is rethinking the way autonomous aircraft are designed and built ➡️ onshape.com/en/blog/marble-aero-cloud-native-cad-double-engineering-productivity-uavs-robotics
