ONSHAPE PRESS KIT 5 PROFESSIONAL 3D CAD
Onshape is a professional 3D CAD system – parts, assemblies and drawings. Although Onshape’s taken a modern perspective to CAD, at its core is feature-based modeling. CAD professionals all over the world are using Onshape to design products faster.
ONSHAPE PRESS KIT 6 FULL CLOUD
Onshape is the first full-cloud 3D CAD system. It runs in a web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) on any computer (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook).
There is no software to download, install, or license. Further, every user in the world works on the same version of Onshape - the latest. When collaborating, there is never an issue with data incompatibility.
ONSHAPE PRESS KIT 7 AVAILABLE ON ANY DEVICE, ANYWHERE
Onshape is the only CAD system that allows you to do ALL of your CAD work (not just view and markup) from your mobile device. Onshape’s iOS and Android apps are optimized for phones and tablets - allowing you the flexibility to access, collaborate, and edit your CAD data anytime, anywhere on any device.
ONSHAPE PRESS KIT 8 HIGH PERFORMANCE
Onshape delivers workstation-level performance on entry-level computers, phones and tablets. In many cases, it is faster than desktop CAD. Desktop CAD uses 4 or 8 cores in the desktop computer. Onshape uses thousands of cores in the Onshape Cloud, and can add more in real time to ensure the kind of performance our customers need.
ONSHAPE PRESS KIT 9 FAMILIAR PART MODELING, WITH A NEW TWIST
Designers experienced with traditional 3D CAD will be immediately productive in Onshape. It uses familiar parametric and direct modeling techniques.
However, because Onshape allows multiple parts to share sketches and features, new levels of efficiency can be realized by building and editing parts together.
ONSHAPE PRESS KIT 10 A MODERN APPROACH TO BUILDING ASSEMBLIES
Onshape introduces a new approach to creating assemblies. Higher level mates enable users to build assemblies with one-third the mating relationships of traditional CAD. This results in assemblies that are are easier to build, manage and edit. Complex mechanisms can be animated through their complete range of motion.
ONSHAPE PRESS KIT 11 GAME CHANGING COLLABORATION Teams can access the same documents simultaneously. Colleagues can work on the same parts, assemblies, and drawings at the same time. Access is controlled by the owner of the document, and each user sees visual indicators when others are working within the same document.
Team members can choose to create separate “branches” of a design and work on new design improvements individually. Since Onshape stores these variations within one document, colleagues can merge the branches, saving rework by combining the best ideas.
Onshape allows users to view each other’s screens while working together in a document. This real-time “follow mode” improves communication during design reviews and helps add clarity when making design changes.
ONSHAPE PRESS KIT 12 HASSLE FREE DATA MANAGEMENT
All product information can be stored together within a single document.
There is no need to make copies of data when collaborating with colleagues.
Version control is built in, allowing you to create a protected state of your document at any time.
ONSHAPE PRESS KIT 13 WORKS WITH YOUR EXISTING CAD
Onshape can be used to share existing CAD files without the need to make multiple copies. You can control levels of access, grant and revoke permissions, and version control the uploaded files.
Onshape can be used to store, manage, and version control any CAD file or translate it into Onshape’s native format to be viewed and edited within web browsers or on mobile devices

AVATECH’S HANDHELD “AVALANCHE DETECTOR” AIMS TO SAVE LIVES
Avatech’s design team, spread between Massachusetts and Utah, uses Onshape to collaborate on their CAD models in real time. Onshape is the only professional 3D CAD system that lets multiple people edit the same model at the same time.
The design team previously had shared Zip files of their CAD models by email. With Onshape’s built-in data management, there is no longer confusion over which model is the latest version.
Avatech uses Onshape side by side with SolidWorks, seamlessly “It was so cool when I importing parts into Onshape, which runs in a browser. Preferring to first imported my SolidWorks work on Macs over PCs, Avatech designers no longer need to run files into Onshape. There was no their CAD system through additional virtualization software. computation holdup. Things are so much faster. Onshape is going to really change how I Read the full story approach CAD modeling as a whole.”

ONSHAPE PRESS KIT 16 Our Customers “The thing I love about CAD in the cloud is that I don’t need to have a heavy duty processor to get into my projects. I haven’t noticed any difference between using Onshape AfterDark Technologies with a fast computer and a not-so-fast computer.”
- Dan Wilson • AfterDark Technologies
ENTREPRENEUR USES ONSHAPE TO REDEFINE THE PARAMETERS OF RECREATIONAL SPORTS
After losing 2-3 weeks of design work when their computers crashed, AfterDark now relies on Onshape’s instant and automatic backup in the cloud.
As a startup, AfterDark favors Onshape’s browser-based CAD, which runs smoothly on even their cheapest computer and doesn’t require investing in expensive hardware.
AfterDark saves money on traditional CAD licenses by paying for CAD on a monthly basis. “We run superlean here,” CEO Dan Wilson says. “Every dollar that I don’t spend is money that can be invested in our product.”

ONSHAPE PRESS KIT 17 Our Customers Rest Devices
HELPING FIRST-TIME PARENTS SLEEP LIKE BABIES
The Rest Devices design team relies on Onshape for multiple people to simultaneously collaborate on the same CAD model. The team had previously shared models by email, an inefficient process that created delays and confusion over copies and multiple versions.
Rest Devices used Onshape to create assembly robots for their manufacturing facility.
Onshape allows more employees to be fully productive with CAD. The company was previously sharing one SolidWorks seat between multiple engineers. “The fact that my colleague and I can both be designing at the same Onshape’s monthly SaaS pricing model is ideally suited for the unpredictable time is really nice. We wouldn’t be able to do that with our single nature of startups. SolidWorks seat. Onshape makes collaboration a lot easier. Even when only one of us is designing at a time, we are able to bounce Read the full story ideas off each other in the moment.”
