AddWind by AddComposites
AddComposites software pilot

Modern filament winding software.

AddWind brings pressure-vessel winding design, pattern search, transition planning, laminate preview, machine playback, and program output into a fast web workflow backed by AddComposites.

One loop from winding concept to machine motion.

AddWind is being shaped around the full engineering loop: define the mandrel, build layers, inspect winding quality, simulate production, and export machine-ready data.

01

Plan the laminate

Build helical and hoop layers, check pattern candidates, inspect coverage, and keep the layer stack readable while iterating quickly.

02

Trust the transitions

Evaluate G0/G1 continuity, friction-guided transitions, dome turns, and winding feasibility before moving to production playback.

03

See the machine

Preview rotary, carriage, payout-eye, and yaw behavior with a tape strip that stays synchronized to the deposition contact point.

CADWIND-class planning, web-speed iteration.

Teams evaluating established filament-winding tools need the familiar foundations: winding pattern calculation, laminate visualization, machine simulation, and program output. AddWind is targeting that class of workflow with a modern browser UI, direct feedback loop, and rapid AddComposites support.

Pattern generation Helical and hoop layer setup with candidate tables, skip/cycle search, coverage metrics, and winding-angle controls.
Laminate preview Thickness-aware visual modes, staggered weave texture, dome buildup, and visual continuity checks for completed layups.
Machine simulation 4-axis playback with mandrel rotation, carriage motion, payout eye, yaw orientation, tape feed, and axis readouts.
Program output Part-program and CCDF output path under active verification, with user machine feedback feeding the next support pass.
