What’s Included in a SaaS Product Development Platform?

Access your CAD models from any modern web browser or from iOS/Android devices. Onshape Mobile is not just a viewer, but is the power of bringing your entire CAD system with you wherever you go.

Reduce your IT overhead with no need for downloads, installs, license keys, or service packs. Everyone has the latest software version with regular updates automatically added every three weeks.

Maintain a single source of truth for your data, without the need for an external add-on PDM system or sending around files. Whenever anyone makes a design change, everyone on the team instantly sees it.

Track who made what change and when, allowing you to instantly revert back to any prior state of the design. Think of it as your unlimited Undo.

Explore, compare, and combine alternative design elements in separate branches without impacting the core design. Encourages creative risks and more iterations, ultimately resulting in better designs.

Share your CAD data with only those you want to see it. Better protect your intellectual property by monitoring, changing, and revoking View, Comment and Editing permissions at any time.

Design multiple related parts together in one place. By defining common features and inter-part relationships in one workspace – instead of bouncing back and forth between files – you can ensure that the results of your design changes are predictable and robust.

Create variations of models with different sets of parameters to switch between them easily. Users are presented with a clean and straightforward menu offering configuration options, making it easy to find the permutation they need.

Fashion stacks of fasteners and capture fit, form, and function. In Onshape, each fastener has a built-in mate connector, making standard content smarter and making positioning in assemblies much easier.

Add in-context relationships between parts of an assembly without the risk of unpredictable updates. Your CAD models always update in a predictable, controlled manner against immutable historical snapshots of the assembly.

Visualize errors immediately by seeing folded, flat, and table views as you design. When you edit one view, the other two are synchronized automatically using Onshape’s secure cloud architecture.

Create built-in, industry-specific CAD features through Onshape’s powerful programming language, FeatureScript. It’s like having a CAD platform specially customized for your business.

Add specialized engineering tools – such as simulation, rendering, or CAM – from multiple partners. Most offerings are Integrated Cloud Apps that work directly inside an Onshape Document.

Access the App Store and custom features from within Onshape’s secure cloud workspace, without worrying about compatibility, license keys, or login credentials.
