A browser is enough
Runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, and iPad — no workstation needed.
Onshape — Browser-Based 3D CAD
Onshape is a next-generation 3D CAD application that runs entirely in the cloud — real-time collaboration like Google Docs, with nothing to install.
CAD that's truly SaaS
Onshape differs from traditional CAD by running 100% in the browser — no powerful workstation needed, no files, no version conflicts.
Real-time collaboration, Git-style version control, and an open REST API make Onshape well suited to hardware startups and distributed R&D teams.

Frequently asked questions
Can Onshape replace Creo/SolidWorks?
Well suited to small and mid-sized projects and distributed teams. Creo/SolidWorks remain stronger for very large assemblies and complex simulation.
Where is data stored?
PTC Cloud (AWS), encrypted at rest and in transit. Enterprise on-premise deployment is available on request.
