PTC's Onshape Launches Cloud-Native Model-Based Definition Capabilities
PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) today announced the release of a fully cloud-native Model-Based Definition (MBD) capability, built directly into its Onshape® computer-aided design (CAD) and product data management (PDM) platform. The new capability allows engineering teams to add manufacturing information directly into the 3D model early in the design process, enabling clearer design intent, fewer handoffs, and improved efficiency across design, documentation, manufacturing, and quality.
