The Story Behind

Daniel Meindlhumer

Daniel Meindlhumer

Founder & Developer

Hi, I'm Daniel – working in the composite industry for over 11 years, with a special focus on cutting pattern preparation. In my early years, I constructed cutting patterns for composite parts myself – quickly experiencing how error-prone and time-consuming manual post-processing in tools like AutoCAD can be. The many individual steps – from geometry optimization to nesting – often took days. This frustration led to the development of PlyWiz over the years – a specialized software solution that now contains over 7000 hours of development work. PlyWiz automates the entire workflow from CAD file to finished cutter job – eliminating typical error sources and manual intermediate steps. Benefits for Design & Manufacturing: • Automated optimization of cutting patterns (geometries, layers, labels, patches) • Fast and traceable lay-up creation with MasterCut • Integrated nesting with time and material consumption simulation • DXF, ZCC, and GTK export directly from the software Teams in motorsport, aerospace, prototyping, and composite manufacturing already use PlyWiz today – to save time, ensure quality, and streamline work preparation.

Frequently asked Question

Still Have Questions?

Still have questions? Feel free to get in touch with us today!

What is PlyWiz?

PlyWiz is a powerful 2D sketcher software specifically developed for creating and processing ply cutouts for composite parts. With PlyWiz, all necessary steps from CAD to cutter can be performed in a single software.

Why should I use PlyWiz instead of other software?

PlyWiz fills the gap between 3D ply creation and nesting software. While other solutions exclusively work in 3D or focus only on nesting, PlyWiz offers a comprehensive solution for optimization, labeling, and preparation of plies for the cutter. This leads to significant time savings and improved results.

What special features does the Optimization tool offer?

The Optimizer can: - Remove overlaps - Connect and simplify geometries - Automatically assign layers - Recognize text and process it further - Repair intersections - Create custom optimization sequences

What export formats does PlyWiz support?

Depending on your license model, you can export your nests and cutouts in the following formats: Print output (in all versions) - DXF (in PRO and PREMIUM) - ZCC (in PRO and PREMIUM) - GTK (in PRO and PREMIUM)

On which operating systems does PlyWiz run?

Windows 10 and 11 Minimum Physical Memory: 512 MB Minimum Screen Resolution: 1280x1024
