Cloud-native CAD for browser-based part, assembly, drawing, collaboration, and version-controlled product design

  • Create polished renders from Onshape Part Studio, Assembly, configuration, and exploded-view screenshots.
  • Zero Footprint: We don't install inside Onshape. We overlay it.
  • External Compute: Your GPU draws lines. Ours calculates light.
  • Batch Processing: Serial rendering is for amateurs. Do it all at once.

Capture.
Render.
Done.

Open the Onshape document and choose the Part Studio, Assembly, named view, configuration, section view, or exploded view that best explains the design. Hide sketches, construction planes, mates, and interface clutter that should not appear in the final image, then frame the product at a readable presentation angle. Capture the viewport and upload it to RENDERCAD with notes about finish, lighting, background, audience, and any details that must stay true to the CAD model. For repeatable rendering jobs or product-page automation, route API planning through /developers instead of copying implementation details into page copy.

Questions & Answers

Common solutions for Onshape users

Instead of complex UV mapping, upload your image or use the RENDERCAD overlay tool to snip your screen. Type "Carbon Fiber" in the prompt, select "Exact" style, and in about 10-60 seconds, the AI will retexture your image realistically.

Snap a picture using the RENDERCAD overlay. Select the "Realistic" engine, set Condition to "Clean," and prompt "Brushed Aluminum." The AI applies the texture orientation correctly to your geometry.

Don't struggle with refraction settings. Upload your image or snip your view with RENDERCAD, set Style to "Creative," and prompt "Clear Glass." The engine handles transparency and light bending automatically.

Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing to RENDERCAD Studio. Add "Cold beverage with condensation" to your custom prompt. The "Realistic" engine will generate realistic droplets on the surface.

Use the RENDERCAD overlay. Prompt for "Injection Molded Plastic" and in Advanced Settings, set Condition to "Clean" for a smooth, factory-fresh look.

You don't need texture maps. Upload your image or snip your screen with RENDERCAD, then set Advanced Settings > Condition to "Dirty" or "Heavily Used" to instantly apply rust and age.

Capture your model and prompt "Oak Wood" in RENDERCAD. The Image-to-Image engine generates a unique, non-repeating grain pattern that fits your object's form.

Upload your image or snip your screen. In RENDERCAD, prompt "Polished Gold" and set Background to "Grey" or "Gradient." The AI generates the necessary reflections to simulate a metallic surface.

No need for bump maps. Use the RENDERCAD overlay to capture the view, then prompt "Black Leather." The AI interprets the depth and stitching automatically.

Capture your screen and use the custom prompt "Glowing Neon Blue Lights." The AI paints the bloom and light spill directly onto your image.

While RENDERCAD generates full rectangular images, you can set the Background to "White" or "Grey" in Advanced Settings for easy masking in post-production.

Upload your image or snip the model, then prompt for "Denim," "Cotton," or "Velvet." RENDERCAD applies the weave texture naturally over the surface.
