Don’t have CAD today or want to transition your business to CAD?

MPCore is a minimal CAD platform which supports plug-in applications to produce patterns for range of fabric structures. MPCore is required to operate any of these Apps so when ordering, be sure to select the App including an MPCore License. After you have MPCore, you can add additional Apps without additional MPCore licenses.

Users of MPanel InSite can import their designs from InSite into MPCore Apps to produce fabric patterns

  • Framed Shade – Define rectangular and polygon framed shade structures and produce patterns which when sewn together produce a form fitting 3D fabric cover. No more forcing flat fabric to fit a 3D frame.
  • Arched Shades – Define multi-bay arched shade structures and produce patterns which when sewn together produce a form fitting 3D fabric covers. Allowances can be included for keder or rope edges as well as tensioning hardware.
  • Conics – Define multi-sided tensile conic structures or import from InSite and produce patterns which when sewn together produce a form fitting 3D fabric cover.
  • Pole Tents – Define simple pole tent/marquee structures with or without valances  and produce patterns which when sewn together produce a form fitting 3D fabric cover.
  • Umbrellas – Define multi-sided market umbrella with or without vent covers and produce patterns which when sewn together produce a form fitting 3D fabric cover.
  • Nesting – Is a separate license for MPCore to allow nesting of fabric patterns prior to exporting to plotter/cutter
