PTC and Formlabs show cloud CAD link to resin printing at Formnext

PTC is presenting at Formnext 2026 how printed parts can be derived from a CAD model that several people edit at once in the cloud. The demonstration at the booth in hall 12.0 combines the cloud platform Onshape with a Formlabs Form 4 resin printer. The focus is the link between design, version control and additive manufacturing rather than a new printing process. Onshape combines parametric CAD with cloud collaboration, which lets design teams share one current model and track its versions. For engineers, the show offers a view of how a shared design source could feed directly into a resin printing workflow. The report is a teaser, so details beyond the booth setup and the product pairing are not available.
