Onshape

Onshape is a cloud-based CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software platform that enables product design teams to collaborate in real time. Unlike traditional CAD software that requires installation on local machines, Onshape operates entirely in the cloud, allowing users to access their designs from any device with an internet connection. Developed by former SolidWorks executives, Onshape was designed to modernize product development by eliminating file-based workflows and integrating built-in data management and collaboration tools. One of Onshape’s primary advantages is its ability to support simultaneous collaboration, similar to Google Docs. Multiple users can work on the same design at the same time without version control issues. This significantly improves efficiency, especially for distributed teams working remotely.
