Marine & Cover Professional, previously known as MPanel Production, is a CAD-based solution designed for fabricators producing marine covers, biminis, enclosures, and custom protective covers.
It provides the essential tools of our Professional range, simplified for marine and cover applications. Running inside Rhino 3D or our free lightweight CAD platform MPCore, it makes modelling, form-finding, and panelling easier to learn while delivering production-ready outputs.
“We first started using MPanel because we needed a way to take 3D shapes and flatten them into 2D patterns for cutting and sewing - it’s been a game-changer. It saves a ton of labor, eliminates mistakes, and ensures accuracy.”

What Marine & Cover Professional is and how it works
Marine & Cover Professional is built to help cover makers quickly turn 3D models into flat cutting patterns.
- Import or model boat covers, enclosures, biminis, or custom protective covers.
- Flatten 3D shapes into 2D cutting patterns.
- Compensate for fabric stretch or shrinkage.
- Apply seam allowances, hems, and reinforcements to multiple panels at the same time
- Export DXF files for CNC cutters or dimension tables for manual cutting.
By focusing on the needs of marine and cover fabrication, it simplifies the learning curve compared to full CAD or engineering packages, without sacrificing precision.

Who is Marine & Cover Professional for?
This software is designed for:
- Marine fabricators producing boat covers, enclosures, and biminis.
- Protective cover manufacturers (BBQ, RV, aircraft, pool, and furniture covers).
- Fabricators who want CAD precision without the steep learning curve.
How hard is this software to learn and become proficient with?
Learn more about Support & Training ->Comparing Marine & Cover Professional to other solutions
Generic CAD tools can be adapted for marine or fabric cover work, but require advanced training and substantial time to produce ready-to-cut fabric patterns. Other flattening tools handle 3D to 2D conversion, but not double curved surfaces and they lack features like form-finding, seam allowances, shrink/stretch compensation, and nesting.
Marine & Cover Professional is different:
- Built specifically as CAD software for marine fabrication.
- Flattens complex 3D shapes into precise 2D patterns, saving hours of manual trial-and-error.
- Provides a clear upgrade path into the MPanel ecosystem: from covers and inflatables to tensile structures and advanced engineering.
