Canvas GFX, Inc, announced that it has closed a $9m Series A-1 funding round led by ECoast Angels and Mendoza Ventures.

The raise positions Canvas GFX to drive rapid growth for its interactive digital work instructions solution, Canvas Envision. Existing customers of Envision include Aerospace & Defense disruptor and autonomous vehicle manufacturer Anduril, automated logistics provider Zipline, and transit systems manufacturer Amsted Rail.

Envision provides a single, easy to use solution that enables customers to build end-to-end interactive and multimedia digital instructional experiences, blending 2D illustration, 3D model animations, audio and video content, and interactive 3D models. Customers can choose between hosted and self-hosted (private cloud or on-premises) deployments, with integration into existing platforms including PLM, Learning Management, Document Management, and MES.

This latest investment round also provides an opportunity to bring additional manufacturing industry expertise to the Canvas GFX Board of Directors. The new Board will be chaired by Peter Schroer, who founded cloud PLM provider Aras and led the firm to a significant growth investment by GI Partners in 2021.
