PTC Releases Cloud-Native CAM Studio in Onshape

PTC is thrilled to announce CAM Studio Beta, the latest addition to Onshape’s suite of cloud-native features. CAM Studio integrates Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) directly into the Onshape platform, streamlining the connection between design and production workflows.

As the industry's first cloud-native solution to combine computer-aided design (CAD), CAM, and Product Data Management (PDM), CAM Studio allows design and manufacturing teams to plan, simulate, and collaborate on machining processes. This release offers a complete design-to-manufacturing solution, enhancing productivity and creating new opportunities for Onshape users within global manufacturing brands.

"With the release of CAM Studio directly into Onshape's cloud-native platform, users gain built-in version control and centralized storage for their manufacturing strategies," said David Katzman, General Manager of Onshape and Arena, "This ensures seamless collaboration, eliminates the risks of file-based workflows, and provides unmatched traceability throughout the design-to-manufacturing process. CAM Studio reinforces our commitment to empowering teams with tools that enhance productivity and drive innovation."

CAM Studio supports 2.5 and basic 3-axis machining, with the most common manufacturing strategies and machines. For users with advanced manufacturing needs, CAM Studio Advanced will offer enhanced capabilities, including advanced 3, 4, and 5-axis machining strategies.

Other features and benefits of Onshape CAM Studio include:

• Access to the latest manufacturing information faster, while utilizing Onshape's built-in PDM functionality for G-code and tooling strategies
• Streamlined communication and easy sharing between CAD designers and manufacturing engineers
• All stakeholders work from a single source of truth, saving time and money while also reducing manufacturing errors
• No additional software installations, licensing costs or administrative costs
