Bionics meets digital twin

Cloud-native CAD program for design projects

Creative work requires basic knowledge and skills. In order to realize creative technical ideas, one must first design and manufacture them. Therefore, the topics of modeling, prototyping, and 3D printing play an important role.

Bionics4Education offers a variety of opportunities to engage in these activities.

Through the partnership with PTC, we can provide Onshape, a powerful, cloud-native CAD solution for the classroom that supports 3D parametric design, offers extensive tutorials for the CAD beginner, and is also free for education users.

Use in classroom

Onshape is an industry grade tool that enables real-time collaboration. This makes it possible to continue lessons outside the classroom or lab. Teachers can assign tasks, check work and give feedback directly in the tool. Onshape provides numerous tutorials with valuable tips and ideas for classroom use that can be accessed for free from their Learning Center.

Realize your own ideas and get creative

Do you want to strengthen your maker mindset, try out your own ideas and create prototypes, e.g. using 3D printing or laser cutters? Let's get started.
