CAD+T Customer Meeting International 2026: Release 2027 in Dubai

On 8 October 2026, we welcomed more than 170 customers and partners from over 15 countries to our Customer Meeting International. Around half joined us on site at the Crowne Plaza Dubai, the other half online.

AI developed in-house

We opened with a look at the megatrends in the industry and presented our own AI platform. It runs entirely in-house: on our own hardware, with open models and no external provider.

Release 2027: one platform, one licensing model

The focus was on the new Release 2027. It brings all products together on a shared platform with a single licensing model. In future, one login covers the licence portal, Visualize AI and all CAD+T products, and licences can be managed independently in the cloud. In the KON module, loading times drop by 99.6 per cent.

New features for planning and design include:

• clean-up of architects' drawings and imported PDFs
• IFC and RFA export
• a Revit plug-in with EOS integration
• direct export to Blum via CAD2BXF

Visualisation, configuration and manufacturing

Visualize AI now creates images and videos directly from AutoCAD, Inventor, SketchUp and Revit. In the CPQ, costing runs alongside configuration, and via a QR code end customers see the furniture in their own room using augmented reality. The CAM Interface is given a new user interface, and the EVI Operations Platform grows by 12 modules, including Cockpit, production planning and machine maintenance.

Exchange across markets

Just as important to us as the new features was the personal exchange. Our team answered questions on site and online, and participants took the opportunity to network with industry peers from other markets.

Rooted in the region

With our location in the United Arab Emirates and as a member of the German Emirates Club, we are firmly rooted in the region. For us, Dubai is the meeting point for bringing together customers from the Middle East, Asia and Europe.

Thank you, Dubai

We would like to thank all participants for the open exchange and look forward to the next Customer Meeting International.
