Seamlessly Send Your Onshape Designs to Polar Cloud for 3D Printing

We’re excited to introduce the Polar Cloud Exporter for Onshape, a new app that makes it easier than ever to bring your CAD designs to life. Whether you're an educator, student, or professional, you can now export your Onshape models directly to Polar Cloud with just a few clicks—no manual downloads or file juggling required!

🌟 Why This Matters

Onshape is a powerful, cloud-based CAD platform, and Polar Cloud is the leading cloud platform for managing 3D printing in classrooms and makerspaces. With this new integration, you can:

Export designs seamlessly – Send STL or OBJ files straight from Onshape to your Polar Cloud account.

Skip the hassle – No need to download and re-upload files manually.

Print with ease – Once uploaded, start slicing and printing right from Polar Cloud.

🔗 How It Works

1️⃣ Install the App – Get it on the Onshape App Store.

2️⃣ Open Your Onshape Model – Design as usual in Onshape.

3️⃣ Export to Polar Cloud – With one click, send your file directly to your Polar Cloud account.

4️⃣ Start Printing – Once in Polar Cloud, slice, preview, and print with your connected 3D printers.

🎯 Perfect for Schools & Makerspaces

If you're using Onshape in a classroom setting, this integration makes it easier for students to move from design to print without extra steps. Teachers can focus on creativity and engineering concepts rather than troubleshooting file transfers.
