Cloud-native CAD platform with built-in version control and collaboration

Onshape is a professional 3D CAD system that runs entirely in the browser and on mobile devices, with no software to install and no files to manage. It combines parametric part and assembly modeling with Git-like branching, merging and version history, and lets several engineers edit the same design at once. Developed by PTC, it offers a free plan for hobbyists with public documents and paid plans for companies.
