Use the guide below to identify the MPanel software, or combination of software, that best fits how your business operates today.
MPanel software broadly falls into two groups:
These are comprehensive toolsets for design, engineering, and fabrication. They act as floating toolboards inside AutoCAD, Rhino, or MPCore, MPanel’s own lightweight CAD platform, which is included free with every Professional product.
All MPanel Professional products operate as floating toolbars inside either AutoCAD, Rhino or MPCore platforms (except Marine & Cover Professional, which does not support AutoCAD).
If you don’t already use CAD, MPanel includes MPCore, our own lightweight CAD platform, supplied free with every Professional product. MPCore removes the need for expensive CAD licences and allows teams to add seats without additional CAD costs.
MPCore Apps extend this further by enabling patterning of fabric structures created in Shade Site Designer. These include framed shade structures, arched structures, umbrellas, conics, and pole tents / marquees.
MPanel products are modular. Many businesses start with one tool and add others as their capabilities expand, without retraining or changing systems.
If your goal is to sell more, your sales team will benefit from Shade Site Designer. If your goal is to fabricate more efficiently, your production team will use one of our Patterner or Professional tools. Many businesses use both.
