SailMaker provides the tools you need to produce top quality sail designs in less time. The SailMaker range of programs covers everything from simple headsail and mainsail design to sophisticated mould shapes and panel layouts for any type of sail.
o The practical approach ensures that the user makes savings in design and production time and materials.
o Simple scaling and advanced fairing techniques are available to help you make faster sails.
o Interfacing to most plotters and cutters and also stress analysis, VPP and CAD programs, ensures maximum compatibility.
o All of this is achieved with the use of an accurate, surface based, three dimensional model and exceptionally easy to use graphical tools.
Combining ease of use with the speed of the Macintosh range of computers, SailMaker has brought within reach of every sail loft, the opportunity to benefit from computer aided design and manufacturing techniques without the need for a large capital investment.
Finally, and most importantly, the programming team at Sails Science Ltd have, since 1983, worked very closely with existing customers to ensure the software meets their requirements in the most practical and productive fashion.
This intimate liaison has resulted firstly in the most useful and well proven sail design and production software available with over 100 satisfied users worldwide. Secondly it demonstrates the continued interest, development and support available from Sails Science.
