Onshape Government
Eliminate bottlenecks and simplify compliance on a cloud-native CAD & PDM platform built to meet the needs of government agencies/contractors.
What is Onshape Government?
Onshape Government is a cloud-native CAD & PDM package that eliminates design inefficiencies, enables secure, real-time collaboration, and supports work from nearly any device, anywhere. Made for design and manufacturing organizations that require US regulatory compliance like ITAR and EAR, Onshape Government accelerates design innovation of products made for governmental applications, and its analytics help teams maintain compliance effortlessly while providing visibility into team performance and data security.
Key Features
Simplify Compliance
With Onshape, compliance is made easy. Unlike traditional desktop CAD software that places the burden of many regulatory responsibilities on the customer, Onshape’s cloud infrastructure helps ensure that you stay compliant with less hassle. This helps manage the complexities so you can focus on designing rather than worrying about regulations. It’s compliance, simplified—another way Onshape is built to empower your business.
Secure, Compliant CAD
Onshape Government meets key standards to support your ITAR, and EAR compliance, including using FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography. This provides robust protection for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). With comprehensive security controls and effective risk management, it ensures the highest level of confidence for agencies and contractors seeking a secure, compliant CAD solution.
Reduced Overhead
Onshape Government significantly reduces IT overhead, saving you both time and money. Traditional file-based CAD systems used for regulatory compliance, require considerable resources and oversight for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) data, but with Onshape’s cloud-native approach, it eliminates the need for those time-consuming audits. The time saved allows your teams to focus on what matters most: delivering high-quality designs.
Commitment to Government-Grade Security
Onshape is dedicated to meeting the highest standards of security and compliance. PTC is seeking FedRAMP moderate authorization for Onshape Government and is working to ensure our cloud services meet the rigorous requirements set by the federal government for data security and privacy. Additionally, Onshape intends to align with CMMC standards, strengthening cybersecurity across the Defense Industrial Base. Our commitment is to provide secure, reliable solutions that meet the stringent demands of government and defense-related projects.

Onshape Government provides everything a company needs to achieve ITAR/EAR compliance. The key requirement for ITAR/EAR is to limit access to CUI from non-U.S. persons. Access to Onshape Government for support and operational purposes is only available to authorized U.S. employees of PTC. Similarly, AWS GovCloud, which Onshape Government is built upon, likewise restricts access to its systems to U.S. persons only.
AWS GovCloud (US) is a cloud service that allows U.S. government agencies, contractors, and other customers to securely store sensitive data and workloads. It has been tailored to comply with regulations such as ITAR and U.S. government programs like FedRAMP. AWS manages AWS GovCloud and ensures compliance with US laws and regulations
See additional FAQs for AWS GovCloud here.Onshape has the intent to make Onshape Government meet CMMC 2.0, and will be pursuing certification as soon as accredited assessors become available.
Onshape has an intent to achieve our FedRAMP Moderate Authorization to Operate (ATO) and was designed with the goal of achieving FedRAMP Moderate.
Onshape Government will be implemented in alignment with NIST 800-171 R3, which outlines how to protect CUI, and focuses on ensuring that sensitive information is secured through specific control measures. Additionally, Onshape Government has implemented FIPS 140-3 approved cryptographic algorithms and validated modules throughout the service.
