PTC Announces Strategic Collaboration Agreement with AWS to Help Companies Design Products Faster and Easier with Onshape

BOSTON, Sept. 25, 2024 — (PRNewswire) —   PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) today announced entry into a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to accelerate the growth of its Onshape® cloud-native computer-aided design (CAD) and product data management (PDM) solution. This collaboration will focus on advancing Onshape product enhancements, customer adoption programs, and artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives, all of which are aimed at helping product designers and engineers create new, high-quality products faster and more efficiently.

The Onshape team and AWS will collaborate on several product and go-to-market (GTM) priorities, including:

"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."
