AddWind by AddComposites
AddComposites software pilot

Filament winding software for design-to-machine confidence.

AddWind helps winding teams plan manufacturable patterns, inspect laminate buildup, verify transitions, and simulate machine playback before committing material and machine time.

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 prepare machine-ready workflows.

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.

Built around the actual winding workflow.

The app view is the product: layer planning, laminate thickness, production playback, axis-limit feedback, and user feedback capture stay in one engineering workspace.

AddWind production playback with 4-axis machine simulation
Production playback with machine axes, tape feed, thickness profile, and locked layer stack.
AddWind laminate thickness view with feedback backlog
Laminate thickness preview with a local feedback backlog for bugs and feature requests.
AddWind hoop layer on a prior helical layer
Layer-by-layer inspection for helical, hoop, transitions, and dome buildup behavior.

Production-minded winding software with rapid support.

AddWind is focused on the full loop a winding team actually needs: winding pattern calculation, laminate visualization, machine simulation, output verification, and a direct AddComposites feedback loop for faster support and development.

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 CCDF, part-program, and Siemens/SINUMERIK-style output are part of the active verification roadmap. Existing generated-code work will be restored and validated against user machines.
