Description
Onshape is a fast-growing cloud-based CAD and PDM platform built for modern product design teams that need reliable access, collaboration, and data control. Because it runs on any device, users can work from a web browser, iOS app, or Android app without installing software or maintaining local files. The platform combines CAD, built-in PDM, version control, branching and merging, real-time collaboration, and secure data management in one system. Onshape helps eliminate many limitations of traditional desktop CAD, including crashes, corrupted files, manual upgrades, hardware dependency, and file-based collaboration bottlenecks. Teams can track every design change with a full audit trail and use infinite undo to roll back when needed. Its cloud-native architecture allows distributed teams to work from the same source of truth instead of sending copies back and forth. Onshape also supports ECAD and MCAD collaboration through the Onshape Altium Connector for bi-directional cloud data exchange. It offers plans for professionals, enterprises, students, educators, hobbyists, and startups, making it flexible for many types of users. With automatic updates every few weeks and no downtime, Onshape helps teams stay current while accelerating product design and collaboration.
