Scottsdale, AZ, COFES 2015 – Onshape™ Inc. (Cambridge, MA) and Graebert™ GmbH (Berlin) today announced at COFES (the Congress On The Future of Engineering Software) that the companies have entered into a long-term development and licensing agreement to embed new Cloud-based CAD technology from Graebert directly into the just-announced Onshape Cloud CAD platform.

Onshape’s Drawings module (under development but not yet released) is powered by Graebert’s new Cloud-based CAD technology (temporarily code-named “Xenon”). Xenon is also available for other companies to license as a platform for their own Cloud-based CAD applications.

“Graebert GmbH is very proud of the successful OEM relationships – at the highest levels – that our company has formed over the last decade. All of these companies represent long-established partnerships and we are very excited to further expand these existing collaborations now and in the future. Our partnership with Onshape is the first implementation of our Xenon technology platform, but we plan to also invite other developers to evaluate our solution and create their own market-accelerated, Cloud-based CAD opportunities”, said Wilfried Graebert, founder, and CEO of Graebert GmbH.
