PTC Onshape MBD Helps NZ Firms

PTC just added cloud MBD to Onshape. Auckland firms now save big cash.

The Problem for NZ Firms

Old CAD files get lost in email chains. Teams waste days hunting files.

Joe’s workshop lost a big job. They couldn’t find the right file fast.

They lose work to Aussie firms. Cloud tools fix this fast.
