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.
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. 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.
Onshape upgrades are released directly to the web interface, and the software does not require maintenance work from the user.
Founded in 2012, Onshape is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts (USA), with offices in Singapore and Pune, India. Its leadership team includes several engineers and executives who originated SolidWorks, a popular 3D CAD program that runs on Windows computers. Onshape’s co-founders include two former SolidWorks CEOs, Jon Hirschtick and John McEleney.
Onshape 是一種電腦輔助設計（ CAD ）軟件系統，通過軟件即服務（ SAAS ）模型在網路上提供。它廣泛使用雲端運算，在基於 Internet 的伺服器上執行計算密集型處理和彩現，用戶可以通過 Web瀏覽器 或 iOS 和 Android 應用程序與系統進行交互。
Onshape 允許團隊在單個共享設計上進行協作，就像多個編寫者可以通過雲端服務一起編輯共享文檔一樣。它主要專注於機械 CAD（ MCAD ），用於許多行業的產品和機械設計，包括消費電子，機械機器，醫療設備，3D 列印，機器零件和工業設備。
Onshape 升級直接發佈到 Web 界面，該軟件不需要用戶進行維護工作。
Onshape 成立於 2012 年，總部位於美國馬薩諸塞州劍橋市，在新加坡和印度浦那設有辦事處。其領導團隊包括幾位工程師和管理人員，他們發起了 SolidWorks，這是一種在 Windows 計算機上運行的流行 3D CAD 程序。Onshape 的聯合創始人包括兩名前SolidWorks 首席執行官，Jon Hirschtick 和 John McEleney。
