Candera launches the FREE CGI Studio Community Edition for makers, students, and small businesses

LINZ, Austria - July 1, 2026 - PRLog -- Candera GmbH is expanding its HMI software portfolio with the Candera CGI Studio Community Edition (CE). Available free of charge for non-commercial use, it provides an accessible entry point into the development of modern graphical user interfaces for embedded systems.

Candera CGI Studio CE is designed for makers, students, developers, and small businesses that want to create their own interface concepts, learn HMI development, or build first prototypes for new products. Users can design interfaces visually, build interactions, and run their concepts on real displays and embedded hardware.

At launch, Candera CGI Studio CE supports Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5. Further embedded platforms and Android support will follow.

Whether for a smart home controller, a DIY device, a university project, an interactive display prototype, or the first concept for a new product, Candera CGI Studio CE helps turn ideas into visible and interactive results faster.

"With the Community Edition, we are making it much easier to get started with HMI development," says Roland Winkler, Senior Product Development Manager at Candera. "It gives users the opportunity to learn, experiment, and turn product and interface ideas into reality in a professional development environment."

Candera CGI Studio CE combines an accessible workflow with core CGI Studio technology. Users can create graphical user interfaces, connect logic and data, and experience their projects as interactive applications on embedded hardware.

Key benefits include intuitive visual UI development, flexible design options for different applications and displays, an efficient workflow from concept to prototype, and a powerful runtime for embedded HMI projects.

The Community Edition supports fast experimentation and early validation of GUI and HMI concepts. It enables users to explore interactions in practice, evaluate operating concepts, visualize product ideas, and assess design, usability, and technical feasibility at an early stage.

With community.candera.eu, Candera provides templates, sample projects, practical resources, and community-based support for first HMI projects.

Candera CGI Studio CE is part of the broader CGI Studio ecosystem. For professional series development, individual requirements, and comprehensive project support, Candera offers the CGI Studio Professional Edition and tailored Enterprise solutions.

Candera CGI Studio CE will be available free of charge for non-commercial use on Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 from July 1, 2026.
