PTC Integrates Onshape with NVIDIA Isaac Sim on AWS for Instant Robotics Simulation
PTC has integrated its cloud-native Onshape CAD and PDM platform with NVIDIA’s Isaac Sim on AWS, enabling robotics teams to carry design updates directly into physics-based simulation. The unified workflow automatically syncs changes in minutes, reducing manual work and accelerating robot development for clients like FANUC America.
1. Integration Details
PTC has launched a robotics design-to-simulation workflow that links its cloud-native Onshape CAD and PDM platform with NVIDIA Isaac Sim, leveraging Amazon Web Services for end-to-end cloud-native operation. Mechanical relationships defined in Onshape transfer seamlessly into Isaac Sim, ensuring design and simulation models remain synchronized in real time.
2. Workflow Benefits
The unified workflow automates model updates, eliminating manual recreation of joints, actuators and other physical details after design changes. Robotics teams can move from CAD to physics-based simulation within minutes, cutting development time, reducing errors and supporting downstream AI-driven robotic training.
3. Industry Adoption and PTC Vision
Early adopters such as FANUC America report faster integration, better design decisions and smoother project execution. Showcased at NVIDIA GTC 2026, this collaboration exemplifies PTC’s Intelligent Product Lifecycle strategy, using cloud-native platforms to accelerate collaborative design, simulation and AI-driven product development.
