The Onshape Start-Up Program is designed to support emerging businesses by providing access to best-in-class CAD & CAE tools, allowing them to bring ideas from concept to completion seamlessly. By collaborating with SimScale, Onshape expands its offering to its Start-Up Program community, equipping start-ups with robust cloud-native simulation technology that traditionally required costly hardware and software infrastructure. By combining CAD designs in Onshape with the simulation power of SimScale, start-ups can perform fluid, thermal, structural, and other complex analyses entirely in the cloud, enabling design space exploration and simulation-driven design iteration to accelerate time to final product validation. This integrated workflow empowers teams to refine designs faster, optimize performance earlier, and reduce costs, ultimately enabling a faster journey from initial concept to a market-ready product.

"At SimScale, we’re committed to democratizing access to powerful simulation technology, empowering engineers and designers to make informed, data-driven decisions starting at the earliest stages of product development," said David Heiny, SimScale CEO. "Our relationship with Onshape exemplifies this mission and provides start-ups with access to a complete, cloud-based toolkit that is flexible, accessible, and scalable. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in supporting the next generation of engineering success stories.”

By providing cloud-native tools at no cost for an initial period, SimScale and Onshape are leveling the playing field for start-ups, enabling them to enter the market with competitive, validated products and helping reduce the risks associated with early-stage product development.
