Onshape is a computer-aided design (CAD) software system, delivered over the Internet via a software as a service (SaaS) model. It makes extensive use of cloud computing, with compute-intensive processing and rendering performed on Internet-based servers, and users are able to interact with the system via a web browser or the iOS and Android apps.[1] As a SaaS system, Onshape upgrades are released directly to the web interface, and the software does not require maintenance by the user.[2]
Onshape allows teams to collaborate on a single shared design, the same way multiple writers can work together editing a shared document via cloud services.[3][4] It is primarily focused on mechanical CAD (MCAD) and is used for product and machinery design across many industries, including consumer electronics, mechanical machinery, medical devices, 3D printing, machine parts, and industrial equipment.[5]
