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.
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.
Onshape Government meets key standards to support your ITAR, and EAR compliance, including using FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography. This provides robust protection for regulated technical data. 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.
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 regulated technical 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.
