The Onshape team and AWS will collaborate on several product and go-to-market (GTM) priorities, including:
- Onshape Discovery Program: The Onshape Discovery Program allows qualified users to try Onshape Professional at no cost for up to six months. This allows engineering teams to experience the unique speed and collaboration benefits of the Onshape cloud-native CAD and PDM solution for an extended period before making the decision of whether to adopt Onshape. Companies interested in applying for the Discovery Program can learn more

- Onshape AI Advisor: Onshape AI Advisor will allow users to design products faster by cataloguing the vast Onshape resource library of text-based documentation and videos and answering questions or making recommendations during the design process. While designing, users will be able to type a question in simple, conversational language and the Onshape AI Advisor will respond with an answer or recommendation based on the resource library and provide links to additional information. The Onshape AI Advisor will run on Amazon Bedrock and is expected to be released by the end of 2024.
- CAD and PDM Conversion Tools: In response to the growing demand from companies to switch to Onshape, this collaboration will allow the expansion of the capabilities of Onshape intelligent data migration toolsets. These toolsets reduce the complexity of switching systems by preserving the parametric features and sketch information of CAD models during translation.
- Onshape Government: Onshape continues to be adopted by companies that need to accelerate their product development timelines and have elevated security requirements. A new Onshape Government option will deliver this security footprint to comply with The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) requirements.
"Onshape continues to disrupt the CAD and PDM market, with product companies of all sizes choosing to switch and experience the speed, collaboration, and productivity benefits of the cloud-native approach," said David Katzman, General Manager of Onshape and Arena, PTC. "Our collaboration with AWS outlines some key priorities that will help us get Onshape in the hands of more designers and engineers, accelerate the delivery of some important product enhancements, and demonstrate how AI can assist in the product development process."
"Using Onshape has allowed us to make our product development process faster, easier, and more collaborative," said Wilfried Dufaud, Co-founder, Executive Director & Head of Airworthiness, AURA AERO. "We're always working on the latest version of our design, we no longer deal with lost work or system crashes, and we're now automating many of our repetitive CAD tasks, which saves us significant time. In addition to these day-to-day benefits, PTC and AWS give us high confidence in the availability, security, and reliability of our cloud-native approach to product development."
Onshape's growth has been fueled by its goal to help companies switch CAD and PDM systems to a cloud-native solution, an increase in commercial adoption, notable product enhancements, and significant traction in the education space. Leading companies such as Trek Bikes, Garmin, K2, Garrett Motion, and AURA AERO are all designing products with Onshape. As part of its three-week release cycles, Onshape has added functionality such as Render Studio, PCB Studio, Onshape Simulation, new surfacing, modeling analysis, and mixed modeling capabilities, and the Onshape-Arena connection for a seamless CAD-PDM-PLM experience. In education, from K-12 through university, Onshape is now generating more than one million new signups per year. Leading universities, including The Ohio State University, Rochester Institute of Technology, the University of Washington, and Penn State University, are all teaching Onshape as part of their engineering curricula.
"PTC's Onshape team and AWS will work together to expand technical and go-to-market collaboration to support the market evolution of engineering design tools moving to the cloud," said Chris Grusz, Managing Director of Technology Partnerships at AWS. "Together, we will evolve PTC's Onshape cloud-native CAD and PDM solution, supported by technology powered by AWS, and bring new AI/ML-powered capabilities and value propositions in a scalable and cost-effective manner to businesses around the world and the next generation user base in education."
