OnShape

Connect, Collaborate & Create Better Products in the Cloud – Onshape

Onshape is the only Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) product development platform that combines CAD, built-in data management, real-time collaboration tools, and business analytics.

Accelerate time-to-market

With the rapid pace of technological innovation, it’s no surprise that speed-to-market usually wins. Onshape is the only product development platform that can be instantly deployed on any computer or mobile device, enabling teams to work together globally and rapidly. Teams can experiment on design alternatives together or independently from one another without affecting each other’s work. Real-time design reviews, commenting and simultaneous editing enable a collaborative workflow where multiple design iterations can be completed in parallel, and when approved, the best elements can be merged into the final design. Product specifications and drawings can be instantly shared with your manufacturing team or suppliers to get the best possible product to market before your competition.

What do you get with Onshape?

Data Management

Built-in version control and release management tools eliminate the need for a separate PDM system. Everybody works on the latest design data at all times. Every edit made by every user is captured and recorded and can be reversed at any time, providing unlimited undo/redo and a documented audit trail. Branching and merging enables multiple product ideas to be developed in parallel.

Collaboration

Edit designs simultaneously with other users and view changes in real-time as they are made. Easily share design data with your team, your company or your suppliers, setting granular permissions to view, edit, and export. Add comments and assign tasks to keep everyone on track. Follow mode facilitates interactive design reviews, presentations and collaboration.

Workflow

Automate workflows to manage the release and revision control of parts, assemblies, drawings, and imported files. Create custom workflows specific to your own business processes. Users can design in parallel while waiting for a release candidate to be approved. Set up trigger points for notifications and emails.

Parts

Design complex solid and surface models using top-down or bottom-up methodologies. Capture design intent and inter-part relationships by designing parts together in a Part Studio. Further extend Onshape’s robust feature set with custom features created using FeatureScript to automate complex or repetitive design tasks.

Assemblies

Create highly structured and detailed assemblies with built-in standard hardware and parts linked from other Documents. Capture complex kinematic relationships with a single Mate. Design parts in-context and manage updates predictably. Onshape’s unique database architecture eliminates the problem of broken links and missing files.

Drawings

Create fully detailed drawings of parts and assemblies with dimensions, datum’s, surface finish and weld symbols, geometric tolerances, notes, tables, balloons, callouts, sheets and fully configurable drawing properties. Supports import and export of DWG, DWT and DXF file formats.

Bill of Materials

Configure and manage a Bill of Materials while simultaneously editing an assembly. Insert non-geometric items with quantities and predefined units. Add BOM tables to assembly drawings with intelligent balloon callouts. Real-time updates ensure the BOM is never out of sync with the assembly it reflects.

Configurations

Build complex families of parts and assemblies with separate tables for each configuration option, dramatically reducing the number of rows and cells. Configuration variables enable infinite product variations. Each configuration can have its own part number and revision (release) history.

Analytics

Monitor project status with Activity, Release, Project and User Dashboards. Review document access and conduct security reviews. Stay up-to-date with the user activity stream. Users can see and access reports according to Global Permissions.

Integrations

Develop your own Onshape integrations via a robust REST API. Extend Onshape to meet your business and engineering needs with ERP, PLM, SSO, simulation, and CAM add-ons available in the Onshape App Store. New partners and integrations are being continuously added.

Support

Request support directly in the Onshape product. In-app feedback tools connect you directly with the Onshape support team. Self-paced tutorials and instructor led training is available via our learning center. Interact with the Onshape Community and staff via the forum.

Security

Protect your design data from unauthorized use with role-based access control, AES-256 encryption, optional two-factor authentication and comprehensive audit logs. Onshape is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and is hosted on AWS. Payments with Onshape are PCI compliant.
