Marine Canvas Fabrication
In One Click
The first parametric design tool that automates 95% of the engineering for marine awnings and tension structures.
Stop modeling surfaces. Start designing shapes.
Traditional tools like MPanel and ExactFlat require you to model every surface, mesh, and seam manually\u2014a process involving hundreds of repetitive steps.
Fabricator changes the philosophy. You draw the frame (the wireframe), and our One-Button Solver does the rest. It identifies surfaces, simulates material tension, flattens the 3D shape into 2D patterns, and generates production-ready output\u2014instantly.
Everything automated, nothing manual
Built for marine fabricators and tension structure professionals who need speed, accuracy, and seamless integration with their production workflow.
Smart Wireframe Tagging
Don't waste hours on geometry. Simply draw your lines and tag them. Is it a fixed edge? A tension cable? A zipper? Once tagged, the software understands the physics of your design.
One-Button Solver
Our integrated solver automates complex engineering. Physical simulation for accurate form-finding, precision flattening with compensated material stretch, and automatic notching for every seam.
True Parametric Agility
Made a mistake in your measurements? No need to start over. Move a point on your wireframe, and the entire output—3D model, 2D patterns, and seams—updates automatically.
Seamless Rhino & DXF Integration
Import your .3dm files directly from Rhino with full layer support. Export laser-ready DXF files for your CNC cutter or send geometry back to Rhino for final detailing.
The difference is night and day
See how Fabricator compares to traditional tools like MPanel and ExactFlat.
| Feature | Standard ToolsMPanel / ExactFlat | FabricatorRecommended |
|---|---|---|
| Workflow | ✕Surface-by-surface (100+ steps) | ✓Wireframe-based (Seconds) |
| Form-Finding | ✕Manual for every surface | ✓Fully Automated |
| Revisions | ✕Manual redo of all parts | ✓Instant Parametric Update |
| Skill Level | ✕High (Requires CAD Expert) | ✓Accessible (95% Automated) |
Think of it this way: If traditional CAD is like hand-weaving a net knot-by-knot, Fabricator is like a loom where you simply set the dimensions and the machine weaves the entire net for you instantly.
