CAD ROOMS in Tech.eu: Why “Made in EU” Starts Before the Factory Floor
Tech․eu speaks with CAD ROOMS CEO Christina Rebel about European hardware, engineering data sovereignty, and why “Made in EU” may begin before manufacturing.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Tech.eu has covered Europe’s technology ecosystem since 2013 through news, interviews, and proprietary market intelligence. Senior Journalist Cate Lawrence, whose reporting spans deep tech, hardware, sustainability, and digital sovereignty, asks whether “Made in EU” begins long before the factory floor.
In her August 13 feature, Cate Lawrence speaks with CAD ROOMS CEO Christina Rebel about European hardware, engineering collaboration, and the infrastructure question sitting underneath the policy debate.

What the interview explores
The article follows Christina’s path from Wikifactory to CAD ROOMS, including the move from open hardware collaboration to the private, IP-sensitive workflows required by professional engineering teams.
She places that founder story within a wider question for European industry: should discussions about “Made in EU” consider how CAD files, revisions, design reviews, and supplier decisions are managed, as well as where products are physically manufactured?
Christina is making a case for where the policy conversation could go next, rather than describing requirements that already apply to engineering software.
CAD ROOMS is a cloud-native PDM & PLM platform that helps engineering teams manage CAD data, revisions, design reviews, and supplier collaboration across multiple tools. Lawrence’s Tech.eu feature places that work within the wider story of Europe’s changing hardware industry.
