Born in the Factory,
Not the IT Department

MPanel began when our founders combined first-hand experience owning and operating shade sail design, manufacturing and installation businesses with expertise in aeronautical software design.

This led us to build software from the ground up for usability, precision, and speed, because we know exactly what it takes to design, cut, and deliver fabric structures that work in the real world, like yours!

Get started in a weekend

  • Simple toolbar interface inside CAD, or our light-weight MPanel Core.
  • Step-by-step tutorials and starter templates for conics, hypars, framed shades, carpark barrel vaults, tents, marquees and more.
  • A training library that covers every aspect of the software — from beginner basics to advanced engineering workflows.
  • You don’t need to master every feature before you’re productive. With MPanel, your team can look up exactly what they need, when they need it, and get back to work.

Tutorials that evolve with you

Our Vimeo and YouTube channels provide clear visual walkthroughs of each feature. Every MPanel product includes detailed help instructions to support your team as they quickly build confidence.

And if the tutorial you need doesn’t exist? Tell us. We’ll make it. Ongoing training content is part of how we support every subscriber.

You can access many tutorial drawings for AutoCAD or Rhino in Tutorial Downloads and in our Blog.

“What might look like a small plugin is actually a powerful piece of software. MPanel is reliable, intuitive, and the support team is incredibly responsive - often in real time. It’s an essential tool in our workflow.”

Customer service isn’t an afterthought; it’s part of our DNA. Both our CEO (Alan) and CTO (Andrew) regularly jump into support queries alongside our global team. When you have a question, you’ll hear back fast, often in real time.

FabricSpan is a US-based contract manufacturer of architectural and industrial fabric structures. They specialise in membrane roofs, canopies, facades, and tensile shade systems, providing services like CNC cutting, RF and hot-air welding, and industrial sewing.

Training that pays for itself

Every mistake avoided, every metre of fabric saved, and every faster turnaround directly improves your bottom line. Structured training means new hires get up to speed faster, and one designer can power an entire workshop without bottlenecks.

It’s not just about learning software. It’s about building confidence at scale, so your business can take on bigger, more complex projects without expanding headcount.

The bottom line

MPanel doesn’t just sell software.

We give you the tools, the training, and the support to transform how your business designs and delivers. Whether you’re a seasoned engineer, fabricator or a new sales rep, you’ll always have the guidance you need to succeed.
