PTC Teams with NVIDIA to Unite Design and Robotics Simulation by Connecting Onshape to NVIDIA Isaac Sim
PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) today announced a new robotics design-to-simulation workflow that connects PTC's cloud-native Onshape® computer-aided design (CAD) and product data management (PDM) platform with NVIDIA Isaac Sim open simulation framework. The workflow is being introduced at NVIDIA GTC 2026 to demonstrate how teams can simulate robot designs while maintaining a single source of truth, enabling time savings, reduced errors, and accelerated development, while also supporting physical AI through d

In many traditional workflows, that handoff is slow and manual, forcing teams to recreate joints, actuators, and other physical details after exporting CAD models. The Onshape–Isaac Sim workflow removes that friction by defining mechanical relationships once in Onshape and carrying them directly into Isaac Sim. When a design changes, the simulation updates automatically, helping companies such as FANUC Am...
